A significant fire broke out in the Nea Peramos area of Attica on the evening of Sunday, 21st September 2025, sending alarm throughout the region. The blaze, which started in low vegetation, prompted an immediate response from firefighting forces and emergency services.

According to officials, the fire has been brought under partial control, thanks to the rapid intervention of the Fire Brigade. The operation involved 40 firefighters, a specialised walking team from the 1st EMODE, and a fleet of 14 vehicles. Additional support was provided by water tankers from local municipalities, highlighting the collaborative effort in mitigating the fire’s spread.

Earlier in the evening, residents in nearby areas, notably Neraki, received an alert via Greece’s 112 emergency system, advising them to stay prepared and to follow official instructions. This precautionary measure underscores the proximity of the fire to residential zones and the potential risk it posed to homes in the vicinity.

The coordinated efforts and timely alerts demonstrate the preparedness and effectiveness of the emergency services in handling such incidents. As the situation improves, monitoring continues to ensure the safety of the local community and the complete containment of the fire.
