Fire brigade has the Situation in southern Europe largely under control

The forest fires in southern Europe have caused great damage in the past few days. Greece, Italy and Algeria are particularly affected. Hundreds of square kilometers of forest were destroyed in Greece, two pilots were killed in a extinguishing rate. The fires are still active in Italy, especially on the island of Sicily and in the Adriatic region of Apulia. Some houses have already been evacuated there, many people had to flee from the flames. However, the fire brigade has the situation under control.

Even in Portugal and Croatia, hundreds of firefighters fight the flames. The situation in Croatia is particularly worrying because the fires have brought Landminen from the Yugoslav War to explosion.

The forest fires in southern Europe also caused great damage on the Mediterranean islands. In Rhodes, the fire was out of control for days and could only be contained with great effort. Many people had to be evacuated, including tourists. The clean -up work has now started, but the residents appeal to German tourists to continue visiting the island to support the tourism industry and enable reconstruction.

In Greece, the big fires could finally be brought under control after ten days. However, the responsible Minister of Civil Protection notis employee resigned because the fire brigade was unable for a long time to extinguish the fires. The fire had come out of control, especially on the island of Rhodes.

There were also other fires in Croatia that were fought by the fire brigade. On the island of Ciovo near Dubrovnik, firefighters fought against a fire that was made difficult by strong wind. Fortunately, no houses were threatened.

Overall, the forest fires in southern Europe have caused great destruction. The fire brigade and volunteers were in use under extreme conditions to combat the flames. The animal world also suffers from the fires. It is important that the tourists continue to travel to the affected areas to support the local economy and help with reconstruction.
