The big fire that broke out in the area of Agios Spyridonas, in Argassi, was brought under control shortly after two in the afternoon.

Ground forces of the Zakynthos fire service rushed to the spot and more specifically 6 vehicles with 14 men, 2 private water carriers, while 2 Petzetel firefighting planes attempted from the air, which fired with foam.

The fire burned almost 3 acres of forest while it almost reached the yard of a house located above the church of Ag. Spyridonos, who escaped thanks to the timely intervention of the fire brigade and the local community of Argassi and especially the President Mr. Andreas Kotsonis.
