After several days of fighting the flames, most of the fires in Greece were completely extinguished.

The severe fires that raged in Greece over the weekend have now been brought under control or completely extinguished. Firefighters were still battling flames on Monday only in a sparsely populated area in the northwest of the country, according to ERTNews.

Over the past three days, several large fires broke out in northern Athens, as well as on the islands of Crete, Evia, and Kythera, and on the Peloponnese peninsula. Dozens of people had to be taken to hospitals with respiratory problems, and numerous villages were evacuated.

Livestock and wild animals died, and houses were destroyed. According to current information, tourist facilities were spared.

However, civil defense and fire departments warn that the fire danger will remain high in the coming days. The current persistent dry conditions and strong winds could quickly turn even small fires into major blazes.
