Fire on Samos contained
ANA-MPA/A wildfire that broke out on the island of Samos, in the Kokkari region, on Wednesday night was reported as having been partially contained on Friday morning.
The fire broke out in five different spots in the area south of Kokkari, and spread quickly, fanned by high winds.
On Thursday night the fire was blazing in two large fronts at Kokkari and near the village of Mytilinaion, and firefighting forces on the ground continued efforts throughout the night to keep the flames from spreading to populated areas and to contain the two fronts.
The land forces were joined again by five water-dropping planes and six helicopters at first light of day, and firefighters hope to have fully contained the blaze by noon on Friday.
