Authorities report that the wildfire in the Preveza region of western Greece no longer has any active fronts and is expected to be fully under control within hours.

The blaze, which had multiple fronts across the municipality of Ziros and villages in the neighboring Arta region, has been tackled since early morning by two firefighting aircraft and a helicopter targeting the last remaining hotspots.

Strong ground forces remain on site, including the Fire Service, Civil Protection teams, police, volunteers, and local residents who joined the fight against the flames.

Damage assessment will begin once the fire is fully contained. For two days, the blaze had posed a serious threat to communities, with its most intense front in the Ziros area now significantly reduced. Overnight, the large fire in the village of Kampi was brought under control, and activity in other areas has subsided.

From early Thursday morning, eight aerial firefighting units have been operating in the wider Filiates area, and officials express optimism that the fire will soon be fully extinguished.

However, the aftermath remains challenging: several villages are without electricity and running water, while communication networks have been disrupted. The destruction is extensive, but the exact number of burned homes and businesses will only be confirmed after full containment.
