AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoWildfire Crisis in Greece: Two people died and hundreds were evacuated on Salamis near Athens after two fires broke out almost simultaneously at Peristeria and Selinia; strong winds helped the blaze spread in minutes, with nine people treated for burns or smoke-related issues and coast guard patrol boats used to move people to safety. Cross-Border Fire Pressure: At the same time, Belgium’s High Fens wildfire—now the country’s biggest on record—burned thousands of hectares and doubled in size, prompting evacuations near Germany and bringing in firefighters and aircraft from multiple countries. Ongoing Greek Response: Fire crews also battled a second day on Skyros, where winds eased enough to resume aerial operations; two small communities had been evacuated earlier, but officials said no inhabited areas were under threat. Preparedness Warning: Greece’s civil protection issued heightened wildfire readiness for Monday, urging the public to avoid outdoor fire risks and noting recent hot, dry, windy conditions.
