Hellish night in Fokida, Ilia & Argolis – Residents were evacuated in Itea (videos-photos)

The Amanzoe hotel in Kranidi is on fire

Firefighters on the ground battle the flames overnight, with the situation being difficult in Fokida, Argolis and Ilia, while smaller fires are raging in Mount Athos, Zakynthos and Aspropyrgos.

The residents of the village of Lata in Ilia, as well as those in northern Itea, are in extremely difficult position as an evacuation was ordered.

Due to the withdrawal of air assets, the task of extinguishing the fires is difficult, while the fear of rekindling remains, with the winds being strong.

At the same time, according to the special map issued by the Fire Department, the risk of fire for Tuesday is very high.

The strong winds that blow in Amfissa and the wider area, which exceed 6 Beaufort, leave no room for optimism to control the huge front of the fire that started at noon.
