Two wildfires on Euboea island raging
Karystos town evacuated
Wildfires are raging in two locations on the island of Euboea. A fire broke out in the area of Karystos, south of Chalkida in the morning hours of Tuesday, while a second blaze occurred at approximately 6 am, Tuesday in the area of Kymi. Strong winds of up to 8 knots have hampered the fire extinguishing operations on the Karystos front, as aerial means cannot contribute to the land units of 13 fire engines and 26 fire-fighters on the scene. The Mayor of Krystos, Eleftherios Raviolas told Skai TV that the town had been evacuated. 36 fire-fighters and 16 vehicles are trying to put out the Kymi wildfire, with 4 planes and a helicopter contributing to the efforts.
