Although the situation in the Chios – According to the Fire Brigade – it is better, the fire It continues to burn forests on the island, while over 60,000 acres have become ash in the last 48 hours.
Strong winds and constant resuscitation have made the work of firefighters, volunteers and air means very difficult in the extinguishing operation. A look at the shots of Politischios.gr drone is enough to understand the severity of damage and disasters that Chios suffered.
The images of the burnt areas around Kofina, Saint Panteleimon, Monodendri, but also above Vrontados and Zifia, reminds me of how the spot was there until 3 days ago. Within a few hours the fire burned down large areas and houses.
Where it was once a source of life and oxygen, a flora and fauna house, there is nothing. Ashes, silence, burnt areas and animals.
“Stomach fist” are the footage from the “black” side of the island, causing sadness to locals who saw their place change from day to day.
The fiery storm violently invaded the island’s urban fabric, approached houses, threatened lives, terrorized whole neighborhoods and emptied settlements. The forests that have remained unaffected for decades were ash in just a few hours.
Chios has previously suffered serious damage from a fire spread. In 2012, the island again suffered from fire in forest areas, while in 2016 residents mourned their loved ones in the outbreak of fiery fronts. Finally, in 2025, the island “knelt” and surrendered to the mercy of the fire that destroyed what it found in its path.
