Some information sources report that the fire broke out in a ravine with olive trees at a distance of about 800 meters from the castle of Mycenae (photo: INTIME NEWS).
The change in the direction of the winds changed the course of the fire, pushing it into the archaeological site. This is how he highlighted, speaking yesterday with “K”, a member of the Fire Department, clarifying that both the first response to the incident and the mobilization of the forces that intervened in fighting the fire were satisfactory.
The Fire Department was informed of the start of the fire at 1.10 in the afternoon. First, a patrol arrived at the site, which was located in the wider area, but not around the archaeological site. Corps officials point out that, on Sunday, the Argolida Prefectural Fire Brigade was on a “yellow” alarm for “high fire risk” and therefore it was ordered that the Corps water tanks and patrols were in points key.
A high-ranking Corps official clarified that the operations center immediately ordered air assets to assist in the firefighting operation. In fact, when the four Canadair planes took off from Elefsina and the two Erickson helicopters from Tripoli airport, the time between the first attack and the first attack was short. In fact, the helicopters were not supplied from the sea, but from a land tank, which reduced the spaces between launches.
Chamber officials clarify that the fire started outside the archaeological site, however, the exact causes have not been determined. The fire department investigator is conducting an investigation, while independent experts will also be involved in the process. Some sources report that it exploded in an olive ravine about 800 meters from the castle of Mycenae.
So what happened and while the mobilization was appropriate, did the fire engulf the archaeological site? Firefighters respond that the winds were constantly changing direction and that low vegetation caused the rapid spread of the fire. It is estimated that the fire was inside the archaeological site 45 minutes after its occurrence. At that time, there were two buses with visitors, 80-100 people, who, however, were not threatened by the flames.
Other sources clarify that the fire broke out shortly before 1:10 p.m. and that the information from the Fire Department was delayed. They also point out that there was no Fire Department patrol near the archaeological site and it took about 15 minutes to reach the site and drop water on the front.
