A very high risk of fire (4 out of 5) is forecast for the Ionian Islands Region, and the areas of Arkadia, Messinia, Ilia, and Achaia on Wednesday, according to the Fire Risk Map issued by the Civil Protection General Secretariat at the Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry on Tuesday.
The General Secretariat has informed relevant state services about the threat, as well as regions and municipalities of the above regions, in order to be on alert in civil protection.
It also advises citizens to be particularly careful and avoid spark- and fire-producing activities in the open air.
If a fire breaks out, call the Fire Department at 199, and in general follow directions of authorities at all circumstances, it said. More information is available at the site www.civilprotection.gr.
