Yesterday was quite difficult for the Cypriot mission, which was operating in the Flampouri area, in Parnitha, and which will continue without replacement until the middle of next week, said the spokesperson of the Civil Defense, Olivia Michailidou.
"This is an area with steep slopes, without special road accesses or paths. "The Cypriot mission was faced with a large number of resurgences, which it successfully stopped," he added.
Today, said Ms. Michailidou, continues to operate in the same area, as the fear of resurgence still exists.
Answering a question, Ms. Michailidou said that the Cypriot mission will not be replaced until the middle of the week, as everyone says they are ready to continue with the same zeal and determination.
"They are familiar with the adverse conditions that prevail in Greece and despite their fatigue, their action is evaluated as particularly effective," he noted.
According to the testimony of a Civil Defense volunteer, they do not put them down and where they see light in the background they chase it.
"Legs swollen and full of wounds, hands full of abrasions, hearts even more wounded by the daily images we experience but we here, volunteer rescuers and firefighters, baptized in the same smoke to work in complete harmony to achieve the goal," he notes. .
He also said that things are clearly better today, Monday.
Meanwhile, the President of the Union of Municipalities of Cyprus Andreas Vyras, as he announced yesterday through a social networking platform, contacted the President of KEDE, Dimitris Papastergiou, and conveyed the solidarity and support of all the Municipalities of Cyprus to all Municipalities of Cyprus Greece that are being tested by the "fiery flame" and the unprecedented disasters.

In the next few days, we will coordinate together for the titanic effort that we will have to make together to mitigate and repair the damage ", concludes Mr. Vyras.
