Mitsotakis – Difficult fire in extreme heat conditions
It is noted that earlier today, Nikos Hardalias together with the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the Mobile Operations Coordination Center “Olympus”, from where he stated:
“It was another extremely difficult night. The work done by the firefighters on foot on all four fronts bore fruit. Of the four fronts, the dawn found us with one active, and the rest in recession. There is still a lot of work to be done in the field, in the ravines and I think that the men and women of the Fire Brigade and all those involved are trying to give their best. During the night we proceeded to additional removals and evacuations.
You understand that the thermal load was great, the fact that the winds had dropped helped us, there was a relative lack of winds, the humidity had risen relatively and with the work done by the firefighters, I think we managed to reduce the fronts. That is why the air forces now have a specific mission, to close these fronts a little, so that we can at least have a delimitation of the situation “.
