The large fire that broke out at Paros on Tuesday afternoon continues to rage uncontrollably.

On Wednesday morning, the fire that broke out in the Kampi area, near the landfill, is in full swing, with the fire front continuing its uncontrolled path. According to the latest information, warehouses and animals have been burned, while parts of the island are without electricity.

In the early hours of Wednesday, the fire passed through the Agkairia area and is moving towards Trypiti. As the mayor of Paros, Konstantinos Bizas, stated while speaking to ERT, the situation remains particularly difficult.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., a 112 message was sent to the residents of Agkairia, calling on them to evacuate towards Aliki beach for safety reasons.

At 2:15 a.m., a new 112 message followed for the areas of Trypiti, Aspro Chorio, Glyfa, and Pyrgaki, with an instruction to evacuate towards Dryos.

Earlier, the fire front had passed through the areas of Aneratza and Kamari, while the flames spread with great speed due to the dry, low vegetation and the strong winds blowing on the island.
