Vassilis Kikilias, speaking on SKAI’s main bulletin, said that the burned areas are less than the 80,000 acres estimated by Copernicus and he pointed to the special weather conditions that prevailed, which contributed to the escape of the front, despite the very quick intervention of fire brigade.
“The damage is not too great. The first helicopter arrived at five minutes, followed by four more. Due to the weather conditions, it was not possible to control the fire. Then he left. Then zones were made to stop the fire. First priority was to protect the houses. In less than 20 minutes, the fire passed over Penteli”.
Referring to the tragic loss of a woman in Patima Chalandriou, he said: “912 was issued in that area, the woman’s colleagues left, for some reasons she did not leave.”
Regarding Kasselaki’s statements, he said: “Crisis are not suitable for political exploitation. Kind criticism is welcome. Operationally, the fire brigade refuted Mr Kasselakis who said he saw only three flying. The fire chief made the new dogma. He decides when the aerial vehicles fly. If Mr. Kasselakis, or anyone else, wants to continue like this, let him do it himself.”
