Greece is facing a terrible disaster, which also affects the island of Rhodes. According to the latest figures, around 2,000 people are struggling to escape the raging forest fires that have engulfed large areas of the island.

The flames, fueled by high temperatures and dry conditions, are destroying forests and surrounding nature, causing serious losses and threatening the lives of local residents and tourists. The fiery element has sealed the horror and quick and bold actions are needed to save human lives and property, informs MeteoBalkans.

Emergency services and firefighters are on a heroic mission to contain the flames and help people evacuate safely. But the challenge is huge as the wind spreads the fire quickly and the terrain makes access to some areas difficult.

The authorities are mobilized and hope that a concerted effort will lead to overcoming this dire situation. Clarifying the causes of fires and taking measures to prevent similar disasters in the future becomes a priority.

The affected communities and the country as a whole need support and solidarity at this difficult time. Faced with one of the biggest challenges in their recent history, the Greeks are proving their resilience and unity in the fight against the flames.

Let us hope that the terrible disaster on the island of Rhodes will be overcome as soon as possible, and that the affected communities will recover quickly.

The Bulgarian firefighters will help their Greek colleagues in controlling the large fires that have occurred in Greece. The country sends us a module for extinguishing forest fires.

Immediately before departure, the director of the General Directorate of Public Safety, Ch. Commissioner Alexander Jartov met with the team and held a briefing. The group consists of 50 firefighters and 15 units of specialized equipment and equipment, Bulfoto informs.
