Greek firefighters are actively working to control severe wildfires threatening coastal resort areas and nearby communities. High temperatures, strong winds, and dry conditions have accelerated the spread of the blazes, prompting authorities to deploy ground crews and aerial water-dropping aircraft. Emergency services have issued evacuation orders for several impacted regions to protect residents and tourists while responders work to protect infrastructure and establish containment lines.

  1. The EU needs a kind of national guard for disaster relief that can be deployed wherever it is needed. It would be much easier to maintain a larger fleet of firefighting aircraft or other heavy equipment by working together.

  2. Τι περιμένει αυτός ο άτιμος ο Μητσοτάκης; Πού είναι ο στρατός; Ας κηρύξει επειγόντως κατάσταση έκτακτης ανάγκης και ας ζητήσει βοήθεια από τον κόσμο… Τι άλλο περιμένει να γίνει αυτός ο ανόητος ο Μητσοτάκης;

  3. Governments fault it keeps happening they don't invest into equipment. Same story next year across Europe. How do I know this well its same in Croatia but we have amazing equipment (amphibious aircraft) and amazing firefighters EU is so far behind.

  4. Continuous pouring of water is necessary because the heat burns out the water very quickly. Clear wide pathways ,cut away the ground bushes/ trees which cause the spread by winds. Can pumping sea water help? Prayers.
