Crucial hours for eastern Attica; blaze reaching Kapandriti
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The villages of Microhori and Metohi are the "defence line" of the fire brigade that are giving a huge battle to prevent the blaze of spreading further.
"The hours are very crucial" stated secretary general of the Civil Protection Minister Yiannis Kapakis.
Microhori and Metohi are the strategic point of defence and I hope to resist until noon. The efforts focus in this area to prevent the blaze of reaching the hill to Kapandriti which is currently the main threat, said Kapakis.
The blaze is out of control while fire rekindling is reported in Kalamos due to gusty winds blowing in the area.
