Abstract

The article focuses on the ongoing forest fires in Greece, particularly on the island of Xios, where evacuations have taken place as firefighters work to contain the blazes. Strong winds have exacerbated the situation, leading to thick smoke covering the island. Approximately 190 firefighters, supported by two planes and 11 helicopters, are engaged in firefighting efforts, while authorities are investigating potential arson. Additionally, Greece is facing a high risk of fire across various regions, with 45 forest fires reported within a 24-hour period, including a separate fire near Iraklion on Crete.
