It is noted that the outdoor area had been cleared in June, in accordance with relevant legislation. The Administrator of AADE, Georgios Pitsilis, has already given orders that as soon as the temperature drops to operational levels – it is currently very high due to the heat released by the metal sheets from the fire – a complete damage assessment will be conducted.
@user1067479938608 7:00 AM the Mayor of Western Achaia was at the ODDY warehouse in Agiovlasitka Achaia. 1000 burned cars. The image speaks for itself. He describes it himself after only 2-3 hours of sleep. We left him at 3-4 in the morning. Fire damage is estimated at many millions of euros. No one can calculate it initially. We’re talking about fire damage at Patras industrial park, to businesses, to ordinary citizens’ properties, to infrastructure, to houses, tractors, trucks, cars, greenhouses, shops, everything… Western Achaia
