In addition, fires have been put out on the islands of Chios (a rekindling at Sidiroundas) and Hydra (a landfill fire), and at Agia near Larissa, while firefighters are dealing with few and interspersed fire pockets in Agia Triada Farsalon in Larissa.

Civil Protection sources said that fires in Roussa of Soufli (Thrace) and at a plot of farmland in Gomostos, Western Achaia prefecture (Peloponnese) have been placed under control.

A total of 29 fires broke out in the last 24 hours at farm and forest lands in Greece. The Fire Department said that 23 of these were dealt with immediately at their initial stage, while firefighters are still battling 6 of the 29.

The Karamandanio Children's Hospital in Patras, which had been evacuated along with a retirement home, has suspended operation by order of the region's health chief, Yiannis Karvelis. The decision was taken because of problems created by the fire in the Girokomio area. An inspecting team will visit the children's hospital on Wednesday to assess damage and begin restoration.
