Fire burning near homes in Kalyvia Thorikou

A large fire that broke out in a forested area of Kalyvia Thorikou in eastern Attica on Monday afternoon is near houses but there is no immediate danger for now, the fire department said.

Sixty-five firemen with 20 vehicles, 20 men on foot, nine volunteer vehicles, 12 water tankers and five helicopters are on site to stop the flames from advancing, but strong winds are hindering their efforts.

A spokesman for the fire department said efforts are now focused on limiting the fire as much as possible until the night falls and water-dropping helicopters are grounded. He also said the flames are currently directed towards Saronida.
