The fire broke out shortly after 10 pm in the Sychaina area… Due to the very strong wind in the area, the fire spread to a front that exceeds 3 kilometers!
An area of forest is burning and as you will see in the images, it has moved closer to residential areas. Patrols have lined up in front of the town of Sychaina and a great battle is being fought so that the houses do not “shine”.
After midnight, the preventive evacuation of Kato Sychaina was ordered, according to tempo24. See the photos:
Apart from the firefighters in the area, reinforcements arrived from Etoloakarnania and Ilia and all together are fighting with the flames, on a difficult night …
At one after midnight, there were 72 firefighters at the scene with 30 vehicles, while local authorities carrying water were also helping.

The fact that the fire broke out at night complicates the situation, as they cannot fly through the air.
Due to the fire, the Patras perimeter road was closed to both streams of traffic.
A second battle is fought for the town of Dragolena, which is also near the fire.
