Greek authorities have further reinforced firefighting forces in the country’s northeast, where a massive blaze in its thirteenth day has flared up once more, triggering authorities to issue alerts to residents in the area to be on standby for possible evacuation.
For some of the small blazes, deliberate arson has been suspected and several people have been arrested, while there have also been dozens of arrests for negligence causing fires.
Overnight, residents of two villages near the border with Turkey and near a wildlife sanctuary were put on alert for potential evacuation as one of the fire fronts flared up. With no signs of abating, the fire had burned more than 81,000 hectares of land by Tuesday, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Emergency Management Service, the EU space program’s Earth observation component and uses satellite imagery to provide mapping data.
