Authorities have urged residents to remain cautious and follow safety guidelines, particularly in rural and forested zones. Several areas in Attica were placed under a red alert, indicating the highest level of risk. Firefighters have been deployed in greater numbers to monitor and respond to any potential outbreaks. The situation remains under close watch, with officials emphasizing the importance of public cooperation in preventing further incidents.
