An alarm has been raised in Schmitari of Boeotia after a fire broke out in an agroforestry area.
20 firefighters with 10 vehicles are operating on the spot, while 4 Canadair are currently taking off in the area of Vrysoula. The strong winds, however, blowing in the area are hampering the work of the firefighters.
"The fire started just outside Dilesi for this reason we have called for a preventive evacuation of the settlement. It is on the border with the residential area. The winds are not helping at all. But I think we might be able to prevent the worst because we are waiting for another fire brigade to arrive. We are waiting for three more planes", says the mayor of Tanagra Vassilis Pergalias to the Greek protothema.gr.
