“The fire passed through the village, absolute destruction, we were destroyed, the village was completely destroyed. A village of a thousand inhabitants, we are talking about Ziria, the fire went through it. The fire got out of control for just a few seconds and burned the village. Unfortunately there was a very slow reaction. After a long time two helicopters came, nothing worked. Here, where I am, houses are burning, panic, properties, the whole village”, stresses speaking to protothema.gr the president of the Municipal Council of Egialia, George Dinos.
“I have entered the village and I am trying to see what can be saved… Fortunately we evacuated the village on time, I have not heard of injuries or anything other than destruction of houses and property”, he also points out.
