Fire on Barnita Hill: Great film, war with explosions

Fire on Barnita Hill: Great film, war with explosions

Although the situation is difficult, the Barnita fire presents a somewhat improved picture.

Strong winds continued to blow in the area, but less severe than yesterday, which aided firefighting operations in Barnita.

But the battle continues with the revival. A major fire broke out around 3.30 am. Reached Barnitos Avenue at 4:00 p.m.

The previous bet was that the flames wouldn’t go through the Trachomacedons, but they wouldn’t reach the heart of the national forest. In newsit.gr’s images, this danger appears to have been averted for now.

According to the information reported so far, the fire went above the settlement of Agia Paraskevi, but far from both Trachomagedons and the cable car.

112 sent a message of expulsion to the settlement of Agia Paraskevi, while Agios Nikolaos was also expelled.

Speaking to SKAI, Yiannis Artopioos, a representative of the fire department, said that the residents of Trachomacedoni should also be prepared to evacuate if necessary.

260 firemen, 13 pedestrian units, 77 vehicles, 10 planes and 11 helicopters are on the scene. 19 firemen are also working with 4 vehicles from France.

At the same time, strong forces of volunteer firefighters with infantry units, forces made available by the general staff of the National Defense and Hellenic Police, as well as water tankers and project engines of the Attica region are operating.

At the same time, through the use of excavations, the preventive opening of new fire protection zones will continue, following those already in place from the beginning of the fire protection season.
