A video recorded aboard a coastguard vessel shows the dramatic moment officers are pulling people on board from another smaller vessel (possibly a fishing boat), as thick smoke can be seen over the horizon. The Hellenic Coast Guard launched rescue operations off the coast near Agios Pavlos after advancing flames reached the area of Krya Vrysi, forcing residents and visitors to seek refuge along the shoreline. The evacuations were carried out by Coast Guard patrol vessels, a rescue craft and privately owned boats that assisted in the operation. Coast Guard assets remained deployed in the area and on standby for further evacuations if required, while firefighters continued efforts to contain the blaze. Greek authorities said they were closely monitoring the rapidly evolving wildfire, with further updates expected as firefighting operations continued.
