Chios Wildfire: Urgent Evacuations Underway for Beachgoers Trapped by Blazes

A large wildfire raging in western Chios has prompted an urgent rescue operation to evacuate individuals trapped on the beaches of Limnia and Agia Markella. The critical operation, initiated on August 12, involves multiple coast guard vessels, a lifeboat, a speedboat, and private boats working to safely transport those endangered by the rapidly spreading fire.
Strong winds, reaching force 5, are fanning the flames, complicating efforts by authorities to bring the blaze under control. The focus remains on ensuring the safety of all affected residents and tourists as the emergency response continues in the area.
