On Wednesday, a wildfire at Mount Pendeli, around 25 kilometers (15 miles) northeast of Athens, raged for a second day. Thirty individuals were transported to the hospital, including three with burn injuries and others with breathing issues.

Local media stated that nine communities and the hospital's personnel and patients have already been evacuated and transported to safer locations.

Skai TV reports that approximately thirty individuals have been sent to hospitals, including three with burn injuries and others with breathing problems.

Strong winds in the area have hindered the efforts of 500 firefighters to extinguish the blaze, which has forced hundreds of people to evacuate their homes, leaving everything behind, and the roaring flames have already consumed numerous homes and vehicles.

75 to 85 kilometers per hour of wind gusts have been measured in the Pendeli region.

In the meantime, an 83-year-old man with self-inflicted shotgun wounds was recovered from the neighborhood.

According to the media, the man was upset after witnessing his home burn down for the third time during the wildfire.

Currently, firefighters in Dioni and Dasamari up to Marathonos Avenue are striving to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent towns.

Yiannis Artopios, the spokesman for the fire department, stated at an emergency news briefing that around 500 firemen are in the region, aided by nine firefighting aircraft and ten helicopters, one of which coordinates air operations.

He reported that a smaller front is burning west of the Drafi town, while many fires are raging in the Anthousa region.

"On the field, all civil protection troops are operating nonstop. The preservation of human life, essential public infrastructure, and the private property of residents continues to be our highest concern "Artopios stated that investigation teams are already at work to discover the source of the fire.
