Northern Greece is burning like never before! In the town of Kalifitos, in the Drama municipality, a massive fire broke out today, immediately alerting firefighters. On the ground, 19 brave firefighters with six vehicles and one infantry unit are battling the blaze, while from the air, two planes and two helicopters are dropping water. Yes, you read that right — the whole machinery is engaged in fighting this fiery disaster threatening to engulf dense forests and nearby areas.
But wait, there’s more! Not far away, near Thessaloniki in Pilejahortiatitis, another fire has erupted, consuming low vegetation. Here, 42 firefighters, teams of climbers, and local authorities are involved in extinguishing the flames, with five planes and two helicopters tirelessly dropping water from above. Although scattered residential buildings are nearby, fortunately, there is no immediate danger to people at the moment.
Clearly, summer in Greece isn’t just about sun and beaches; it’s a hellish season of fires that choose no time or place. Firefighters are pushed to their limits, and nature is burning like it’s on a grill! Will this catastrophe stop, or will we watch more forests turn to ash?
If you think this is just another news story, think again. These fires aren’t just numbers — they’re destroyed habitats, endangered lives, and nature fighting for survival. And you? Have you ever thought about how important it is for all of us to be aware and ready to help? Or will we just watch and comment while everything around us melts away?
Jump into the conversation, share your thoughts, or just throw in a sarcastic comment — because if not now, when? Greece is burning, and we? We’re watching!
