Multiple wildfires are currently active across several regions in Greece, prompting significant mobilization of firefighting and aerial resources.

In Boeotia, fires have broken out in the areas of Stefani, Agios Vlasios, and Tsoukalades. The blaze in the forested areas between Tsoukalades and Agios Vlasios has prompted 112 emergency alerts. Firefighting efforts in Boeotia involve approximately 85 firefighters, 28 vehicles, 4 helicopters, and 4 aircraft.

In Attica, a fire in the Kalopygades area of Lavreotiki has been brought under control and is in remission, having stopped just before reaching residential homes. However, the 112 service previously issued evacuation orders for Agia Marina and Tsonimi. Meanwhile, a fire near the Salamina naval station has caused explosions and prompted evacuations for the Nea Salamina and Ano Vasilika areas.

Other active fronts include a fire in the Agioi Dekai region of Heraklion, Crete, and a blaze in the Ktypimena area of Pella. Additional firefighting operations are underway in Xerolivado, Veria, and the island of Samos, where a projectile explosion was reported within the fire zone.
