Firefighting efforts involved airplanes, helicopters, and over 200 firefighters battling flames spreading through the Kassandra Peninsula south of Thessaloniki. The fire quickly spread to densely populated tourist areas like Sithonia and Fourka, which were filled with summer visitors. Authorities evacuated tourists by sea because the fires were approaching the beaches, with some transported to nearby beaches and approximately 200 taken aboard a waiting ship at sea. Crowds formed on a pontoon in Fourka while smoke covered the sky, and traffic congestion occurred as vehicles tried to exit the affected areas. Greece faces severe annual forest fires exacerbated by climate change, with authorities reporting that up to 100 square kilometers of forest have been destroyed.
