Unfortunately, this year once again Greece is suffering from many uncontrollable wildfires in many locations across the country and also some islands. In this article, I am going to focus on Athens Greece.
In Agia Paraskevi, in a small village on Mount Parnitha we found an elderly lady standing in front of her burnt house. She was crying as she stood in front of everything she’d lost. A little further down the road we found Mr Nikos standing outside his house trying to keep everything wet to keep the fire away, but however hard his attempt there could be no success. He and his family were forced to leave and they lost everything.
The firefighters on the ground and in the air fought endlessly but the fires continued to rage. This destroys people’s livelihood and our countryside.
We need to act and make sure this doesn’t keep repeating, but how can we solve this never-ending problem? We would love to hear your comments and move forward. What really needs to be done, where should money be used…extra protection like planes/helicopters and firefighter vehicles or military for example?
