On the Greek island of Chios, the fire brigade and volunteers continue the fight against a huge forest and bush fire. “Today is the day on which we attack the main front of the flames with all means,” said the mayor of the island capital Ioannis Malafis. The reason for hope shows it again.
Since dawn, helicopters and firetwires have been throwing tons of water on the FOCI, as the Greek television demonstrated.
According to the reports, more than 500 firefighters are deployed, and countless islanders also fight against the flames against the third day in a row. Four planes and thirteen helicopters are used for firefights from the air.

Research into arson
The authorities investigate arson, such as the Minister of Climate Crisis and Disaster Protection, Giannis Kefalogannis, who traveled to the island: “If fires break out in different places, we have to talk about suspicious activities,” he said during a crisis meeting about Chios.
Initially, on Sunday, almost at the same time in the middle of the island, three fires broke out, which were fed by strong wind to the current fire front.
