Summary created with AI assistance · Source: faz.net
  • An evacuation order covered Alepochori, Psatha, Zachouli and many other locations about 60 kilometres west of Athens on Saturday evening, with the Ministry of Citizen Protection sending warning and evacuation text messages.

  • Fires were also burning about 100 kilometres farther west and in the northern Peloponnese, while strong winds drove rapid spread around Porto Germeno on Saturday afternoon and hampered aerial firefighting.

  • A police spokesman said about 500 firefighters were deployed, while roughly 5,000 hectares had reportedly burned and Sunday hopes rested on firefighting aircraft and helicopters as winds were expected to ease.

  • In France, the prime minister described the fires as largely under control, but the prefecture stressed that this did not mean they were extinguished; near Bordeaux, 252 of 2,725 buildings were destroyed, 208,000 of 224,000 evacuees returned, and more than 330 firefighters were injured.
    • If the wind doesn't die down, the disaster can't be contained any longer.
    — Giorgos Dasiotis, deputy governor of Boeotia, told ERTNews
