Young Fire Officer Found Dead Near Gythio WildfireThe death of 27-year-old firefighter Konstantinos Laimodetis has deeply affected his hometown of Agrinio in western Greece after he was found dead outside the perimeter of a wildfire that broke out Wednesday near Gythio in the Peloponnese. The only child of his family, he was the son of a teacher from the Agrinio district of Agios Konstantinos. He entered Greece’s Firefighters Academy in 2017, graduated with distinction, and later attended the Fire Officers Academy. Reports indicate that the 27-year-old was at the scene but was not actively involved in firefighting operations at the time. The two firefighters were later found dead outside their vehicle by a fellow firefighter.
