A reporter, Azadeh Mashiri, on the scene in Rhodes, described the dire situation. The fire service is tirelessly working to combat the flames, but the fires have been raging for eight consecutive days. The situation remains unsafe on the island, with a large plume of smoke visible over the hills. The fire service recently faced challenges in the area between Gennady and vati, where two rivers have dried up, complicating firefighting efforts.

The reporter also witnessed firebreaks being used by firefighters to contain the fires. The firebreaks serve as barriers to cut off the fuel that enables the wildfires to spread. Despite the efforts of the fire service, there are still active fires, and additional evacuations took place in the village of Platanistos. The exact number of evacuees is not yet known, but it is estimated to be in the hundreds.

The situation is localized to the southern region of Rhodes, but the combination of dry fuel, intense heat, and winds continues to pose significant challenges for firefighters and residents alike.
