A strong rekindling of the fire is currently underway in the settlement of Livadostra in Boeotia, according to the president of the Lefktra community, Charalampos Karabaris.
Speaking to ERT, he said the fire is approaching houses dangerously and is only 15–20 metres from the first house. One sheepfold has already been completely destroyed, while a second is currently burning.
The fire front is descending from Kalamaki and Agios Vasilis towards Elaionas, according to Evangelos Andrianos, deputy mayor for Civil Protection of the Municipality of Thebes.
At 11:01 on Saturday morning, a 112 emergency message was sent calling for the evacuation of anyone in the wider Livadostra area, directing them towards Lefktra.
The Livadostra settlement is located close to Agios Vasileios, from where residents were rescued yesterday.
The fire is burning in an area between two mountains, Kithaironas and Mount Korompili. “If it crosses the ravine and moves towards Mount Korompili, it will meet the fire burning in Xironomi,” Karabaris said.
Stay tuned for further developments.
