A force of 64 firefighters with 26 fire engines, a unit on foot, water-dropping helicopters and an aircraft continued to fight a blaze in southern Evia that broke out on Monday. The Fire Service said the blaze was largely contained but had not been brought under control.

Residents in the settlements of Marmari, Kokkini and the doctors’ building cooperative were told to evacuate, with a Coast Guard vessel, a private boat and two passenger ships standing by in Marmari, in case residents needed to flee.
