Messinia: Fire Under Control, Alert in Kythira

The fire in Messinia, specifically in the Metamorfosi area of the Pylos-Nestoros Municipality, is now under better control. Ground and air firefighting forces continue their extinguishing efforts.

According to the Mayor of Pylos-Nestoros, Panagiotis Karvelas, the prompt intervention of the Fire Department prevented the risk to a settlement in the Papaflessa municipal unit. Several acres of forest land and olive groves have been burned.

In Kythira, the fire has no active front, but forces have been reinforced due to fears of rekindling. A team from the Fire Crime Investigation Center (K.A.E.E.) is investigating the causes of the fire.

High fire risk is predicted in Messinia, Kythira, Attica, and other areas.
