A large wildfire has broken out in southern Greece near the resort town of Loutraki. The fire has engulfed a pine forest and is spreading rapidly across the area. Firefighting units and specialized equipment have been deployed to extinguish the blaze. Rescuers are working to prevent the flames from spreading to populated areas.
According to local authorities, firefighting planes have joined ground forces in the effort to extinguish the flames. The fire department reported that five planes and one helicopter have been deployed to assist 56 firefighters with 17 fire trucks, as well as volunteers, who were battling the fire near the city of Corinth, southwest of Athens.
The fire broke out near Lake Vouliagmeni, a picturesque spot near the village of Perachora at the foot of the Gerania Mountains, about nine kilometers from Loutraki.
There were no immediate reports of damage to buildings in the area, and there were no strong winds that could have quickly spread the flames.
