A strong wind spread the flames in the area of ​​Laconia to the Peloponnese, where coast guard boats have been sent to rescue about a hundred people who hid from the flames.

In this area, the firing line stretched for 15 kilometers and all available units from Pelponnese were engaged to extinguish the fire.

Three villages and two children's camps were evacuated.

- The fire has gone through two villages, burning houses. This is hell, because there are hundreds of fire pockets - said the mayor of the city of Monemvasia Iraklis Trikilis for TV Sky.

The Head of the Civil Protection, Tazos Mavropulos said that reinforcements from around the area have arrived to the scene.

- We evacuated two villages and summer camps - Mavropulos said, adding that the operation was complicated due to the mountainous terrain and stormy winds.

In fighting the fires, more than 120 firefighters with 50 fire engines, around 30 soldiers, four planes and two helicopters took part, according to the AP. Fire service spokesman Nikos Congas warned that there could be even greater damage due to fire.

One of seven fire-fighting aircraft in Laconia were forced to perform an emergency landing, luckily, neither of the two pilots were injured in the process.

Fire service spokesman Nikos Congas warned that there could be even greater fire damage, because the winds are too strong and their strength is not expected to reduce, according to AFP.

Reuters reports that representatives of the Ministry of Defence informed the Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of the fires.

Otherwise, while wildfires rage in Athens, the German Bundestag is at the extraordinary session of the Parliament, and with a fierce discussion has given the "green light" for a new aid package to Athens worth 86 billion euros, which was agreed in Brussels earlier this week.
