A volunteer fireman
who rushed out to fight the fires at
Ippokrateios Politeia, a northern suburb of Athens, was killed last Friday.
The 38-year-old man is the first to pass away as a result of
fighting the fires, which now number almost 100 across the country. He died from an accident he suffered on his
motorcycle while rushing to help fighting the fires.
Our sincere condolences to the family of this extremely
brave and generous young man who saved people and died courageously while doing
his duty.
One professional firefighter, four volunteer firefighters
(not including the one who died) and
five civilians were taken to hospital on Thursday evening in Greece, as the
country continued to fight against wildfires on multiple fronts.
The firefighter who was injured at Kryoneri, in north Attica, is
hospitalised at 251 Air Force General Hospital.
Two of the volunteer firefighters have been admitted to ICU due to the severity of there wounds. Fortunately, the two other volunteers who were injured did not need intensive care.
PLEASE BE VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19 SO THAT YOR BELOVED FAMILIES, FRENDS, THE WORLD AND YOU WILL BE HEALTHY AND SAFE.
