IN PROGRESS: The inhabitants of West Aegialia face a fiery nightmare – The fire is burning uncontrollably.
8 people in the hospital – More than 20 houses in Ziria were burnt.
Eight people were taken to hospital by the fire that continues to burn uncontrollably in Achaia and which has caused incalculable damage in at least 4 settlements that have been evacuated.
Also, according to EKAB, there was an incident in which first aid was given, while no transfer was made to a health facility due to the caller’s refusal.
Competent sources state that the 7 people who were transported to the hospital, 6 are from citizens and one Coast Guard from Aigio, as they faced respiratory problems. Everyone is in very good health. One person was treated for burns in Patras and underwent surgery but is not in any danger at all.
The president of the community of Ziria, where the settlement of Lampiri also belongs, Vassilis Glossidis stressed that “the damages are great, as many crops with olive trees have been burnt”. However, as he points out, “we can not yet have a complete picture of the magnitude of the disaster, since the fire is ongoing.”
He also stated that “there is an interruption in the electricity supply, but the pumping stations are in operation”, adding that “I am very upset, because a beautiful village burnt down, while the settlement of Lampiri, which was hit by the fire, is a wonderful place”. “We lived in an unprecedented situation, as the fire was burning with great pomp,” the president of the community of Kamares, Panagiotis Perlegkas, talked about what the residents experienced, seeing the fiery front approaching their homes.
