A major operation of the fire service is underway to put out the fire fire raging uncontrollably in her area Ierapetra and more specifically in the place Mavros Kolymbos.
Firefighters who have rushed from all over the regional unity of Lasithi, from Heraklion and beyond, are fighting the flames, while their work is made extremely difficult by the strong winds blowing in the area.
The front of the fire seems to be approaching settlements and for this reason their evacuation has been requested. Aerial vehicles joined the battle with the flames a while ago.
Earlier, Civil Protection decided together with the authorities to request the evacuation of the settlements of Mavros Kolymbos, Galini, Agia Fotia and Achlia.
