Controlled fires in November to avoid summer wildfires — What’s changing in forest protection
The bill to be presented by the responsible minister, Giannis Kefalogiannis, at the Cabinet meeting — Introducing for the first time in Greece the method of planned burning of forest areas — Regional “war rooms” for better coordination
Kefalogiannis on fake news about the fires: No deaths in Achaia, fire did not enter Patras urban area
Kefalogiannis referred to five news items that were reproduced while the fires were raging
Patras Municipality fell short in handling fires, says Kefalogiannis – “Pelettidis’ statements about 112 are criminal and dangerous”
The Mayor of Patras had stated that those who did not follow the 112 instructions saved their properties – “We have lived through the Mati tragedy, and I will not allow anyone to question the 112,” said Mr. Kefalogiannis
