Regrettably, forest fires are igniting unusually early this year.

A fire started early Wednesday afternoon in a forest area in Agnanti, Fthiotida, without threatening a residential area.

The mobilisation of the Fire Department was immediate, as 37 firefighters with 2 groups of hiking sections and 11 vehicles are operating to extinguish the fire, while a helicopter is making drops from the air.
