(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 07 - Attica, the region of Athens, has experienced another dramatic night due to the fires which, despite the incessant work of firefighters, fire planes and volunteers, with forces and means also arrived from abroad , blaze out of control over the Parnitha mountains, Agios Stefanos and Malakasa, north of the capital. A situation that could worsen due to the winds that blow over the area today. According to the site in.gr, the situation is particularly critical in Thrakomakedones and Varybombi, sui Parnitha, where several houses have already been burned and the roghic continues to advance. Police and firefighters are attempting to evacuate residents who refuse to abandon their property. Between the centers of Ippokratio Politia and Malakasa- along theAthens-Lamia highway - a large area covered with pine forests is burning, and the fire is heading towards the village of Oropos. A reception center for migrants was evacuated yesterday in Malakasa: about 2,000 people were transferred elsewhere. Other fires on the Agios Stefanos front have destroyed houses in the small towns of Pefkofyto and Pontia, as they move around the lake of Marathon. The emergency number 112 sent a message this morning at 6 am asking for the evacuation of the areas of Agia Skepi, Agia Paraskevi, Kapitenia, Vrysaki, Loufos Kouremenos, all around Varybombi. And the flames have been burning for days on hectares of vegetation on the island of Evia, near Ancient Olympia, on the Mani peninsula and in Melpeia, in the Messinia region, both in the Peloponnese.
