希腊正与多地野火展开激烈对抗。一场大火于周五在雅典西北约70公里的沿海村庄爆发,随后蔓延至Porto Germeno地区并延伸至海岸线 [1]。超过300名消防员已部署参与扑灭工作 [1],但周六达到每小时130公里的强风严重阻碍了灭火进展 [1]。消防部门发言人指出"火已到达海边……房屋肯定被损毁" [1]。
本周以来,希腊已有70多处地点遭到火灾影响 [1]。克里特岛受灾面积约为5000公顷 [1]。这场灾难已造成3名消防员丧生 [1]。底比斯市长Giorgos Anastasiou评价称"环境破坏是巨大的" [1],而野火气象学家Theodore Giannaros形容Porto Germeno地区的破坏"难以想象" [1]。
Greece is confronting multiple wildfires across the country, with a major blaze that erupted Friday in the coastal village of Agios Vasileios, approximately 70 kilometers northwest of Athens, spreading into the Porto Germeno region and reaching the sea.[1] More than 300 firefighters have been deployed to combat the flames, though their efforts have been severely hampered by powerful winds that reached 130 kilometers per hour on Saturday according to measurements from Athens's National Observatory meteorological department.[1]
The scope of destruction this week has been extensive, with over 70 locations across Greece affected by wildfires.[1] Crete Island alone has seen approximately 5,000 hectares burned.[1] Three firefighters have lost their lives in the ongoing battle against the flames.[1] Officials have described the damage in stark terms: a fire department spokesperson stated that "the fire has reached the sea... houses are certainly destroyed,"[1] while Thivae Mayor Giorgos Anastasiou characterized the environmental damage as "enormous."[1] Wildfire meteorologist Theodore Giannaros described the destruction in the Porto Germeno area as "unimaginable."[1]
