Balgarianovinite.com Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis Thursday paid tribute to firefighters who had died in the line of duty and pledged to continue efforts to strengthen the country’s wildfire defenses, according to eKathimerini. “I express our deepest sorrow. The State honours them, stands by their families and strengthens its actions so that Greece becomes ever better protected against the climate crisis,” Mitsotakis said at the start of Thursday’s Cabinet meeting, as quoted by the media outlet.
The two firefighters died Wednesday while battling a fast-moving wildfire on the southern Greek island of Crete, which also forced the evacuation of several hundred people.
Later, Greek media reported the death of a third firefighter on the Peloponnese peninsula.
Mitsotakis warned that Greece’s wildfire season is far from over, saying the country still faces “difficult days” ahead. He urged the public to exercise “the utmost caution.”
The wildfire season typically intensifies in late July and August, when strong seasonal “meltemi” winds can rapidly spread fires, eKathimerini noted.
Strong winds continue to fan wildfires in southern Crete and on the northeastern Aegean island of Lesbos.
