Paros wildfire forces firefighters to battle through thick smoke

A video posted on social media shows firefighters and volunteers on the Greek island of Paros confronting a large wildfire that continues to flare up due to strong winds. The footage captures the frontline workers operating in dense smoke that severely limits visibility, while a voice can be heard urging, “Let’s go, we need to leave!”

Despite the hazardous conditions, fire crews remain on the island, battling multiple spot fires and repeated reignitions as the blaze persists across the landscape of Paros.
