Greek authorities have evacuated four more villages near the northeastern border with Turkey where a large summer wildfire is raging for a second day.
Local authorities said about half a dozen outlying houses and outbuildings were badly damaged in two of the evacuated villages, as well as a church. Sections of a major highway were closed for a second day as smoke reduced visibility, while Alexandroupolis residents were advised to keep their windows shut.
Greece’s minister for civil protection, Vassilis Kikilias, said Sunday that firefighters, police, army personnel and volunteers were “waging an intense battle” in the Alexandroupolis area, and called for extreme public vigilance throughout the country Monday. “No outdoors work that could trigger a fire will be permitted,” he said. “We must all protect our country.”
Greece suffers destructive wildfires every summer, which officials said have been exacerbated by climate change. The most deadly killed 104 people in 2018, in a seaside resort near Athens that residents had not been warned to evacuate. Since then, authorities have been erring on the side of caution, issuing swift mass evacuation orders whenever inhabited areas are under threat.
