During the night, at a critical moment and after the meteorological data, (wind intensity and direction allowed it), outside the fire zones, by the forest commanders who were operating in a difficult place, the fire was chosen to stop the further spread of the fire forehead.
Anti-fire, in which the Greek forest commanders have also been trained in recent years, is defined as a controlled fire that is set towards the side of the front, i.e. on the inner side of a fire prevention strip and in a direction opposite to the front of the fire, so that it meets the fire front and to neutralize its further spread.
The Commander of the 1st EMODE Deputy Fire Marshal Ioannis Kolovos speaks about the use of the anti-fire:
What is the firewall method?
A backfire is defined as a controlled fire set on the inner side of a fire zone or fuel discontinuity (rock formations, lakes, rivers, crops, settlements, etc.), in a direction opposite to the fire front. “The goal is to merge the front of the fire with the front of the fire, with the ultimate goal of extinguishing or reducing the fuel, in order to stop or reduce the rate of its spread or to mildly influence the behavior of the fire.” The conditions for the use of fire by the Fire Brigade, as a necessary means of extinguishing forest fires, are specified in the Joint Ministerial Decision published in the Official Gazette on June 23. In addition to the anti-fire method, the method of burning (BurnOut) was instituted. It is the controlled fire toward the perimeter of an ongoing fire, inside a fire zone or fire strip that “burns the fuel to a specified width by widening the existing fuel breakup zones and minimizing the possibility of the fire jumping over the radiating or spotted zone’.
Responsible for its implementation, according to the KYA, are the “forest commanders” of the EMODE.E, who undertake the prescribed procedures in the field. The firefighters, following orders from the incident leader, proceed with the implementation of the controlled burns, after having examined the existing conditions at the front of the fire (speed of spread, transmission by embers, flame length, air temperature, etc.), the local meteorological conditions and forecasts, the characterization of the area (slope, vegetation, etc.), the available forces and the assessment of the probability of success.
