The study estimates that the wildfire scorched a total of 11,173 hectares (27,614 acres) over approximately 91 hours, from the morning of July 31 until the morning of Aug. 4. The analysis identified two major overnight runs as the defining phases of the wildfire. The findings come after one of the most destructive wildfire outbreaks of this year’s fire season in central Greece. Over the past week the Attica-Viotia wildfire prompted a large-scale firefighting operation involving ground crews and aerial assets as powerful winds repeatedly fueled rapid fire spread. Firefighters remained deployed for several days to contain flare-ups while civil protection authorities warned that persistent strong winds and exceptionally dry conditions continued to create extreme wildfire risk across central Greece.
