The blaze, fanned by strong winds, raged uncontrolled through the village, forcing residents to flee their homes, and leaving behind charred fields and burnt-out buildings. A Reuters witness said at least five houses were severely damaged by the fire, which also tore through the seaside residential area of Lagonisi, a popular resort.
