Firefighting on the Greek island of Chios was working on Monday, working to extinguish three large forest fire, which broke together for a reception center for a reception center for the withdrawal of about 20 villages and a reception center for migrants coming from nearby Turkey.
The fire is threatened with destroying mastic plantation on the island, providing it a major source of income.
Greece has consistently experienced devastating wildfires in recent years, stating that climate change is increasing the chanting of disasters.
Fire on chio surrounded by strong winds
Local officials said some 190 firefighters aided by six aircraft and 38 fire engines have tried to include Blaze.
Bees have been sent to the island from the mainland by a boat near firefighters.
The fire has become complicated by a strong wind due to the fire to fight the fire.
Hundreds of people have been brought for safety, said that the tourists of the island have not yet been affected.
Firefighters are focused on protecting the mastic tree plantation of the island, which produce a resin used in traditional sweet Greek Licker Mastiha with other things.
In 2012, Wildfire already destroyed more than half of the mastic gardens on the island, causing 60% of the crop loss and the global supply of the product, which “tears of chio”.
Arson suspected
A local politician told the news broadcaster Ert News that the fire was intentionally lit in all possibilities, citing the fact that they all broke together.
He said that investigators were already on the spot.
In recent years, Greece has spent huge amounts to compensate homes and farmers for extreme weather damage and get new and modern fire fighting equipment to deal with forest fire.
This year has hired a record number of firefighters this year, as it is particularly expected of the deficit fire season.
Chios is the fifth largest island in Greece and is located in the Aegean Sea, with only 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) between the sea and at the nearest point between Turkey.
