There was a great mobilization of the Hellenic Fire Department to contain the fire that broke out earlier on Thursday in a forest area in Neo Petritsi, Serres.

In addition to the ground forces, two aircraft and a helicopter were also airborne to prevent the spread of the fire.

In fact, a video uploaded on Facebook has “caught” the moment when a n airplane drops water at a point where firefighters and men from the hiking group were operating, who as soon as they realized what was going to happen, they begun running to escape .
