Back to newsGreek Member of Parliament Ev. Tournas addressed the Hellenic Parliament, defending Crete's fire service capacity amid questions about firefighter transfers away from the island. He stated that Crete is not being weakened but is in fact receiving increased resources each year. The remarks came in response to concerns raised about whether personnel relocations could reduce firefighting coverage across the island. For visitors, Crete's fire service remains operational and staffed. Tourists planning outdoor activities, hiking, or visits to forested areas during summer should still follow standard fire safety precautions: avoid open flames in nature, check local advisories during high-wind days, and follow instructions from authorities if fire alerts are issued in their area.
