Thank you for the updates
Stay safe everyone and thank you to all that helped with the situation 
Uh dear 
Hope this doesnāt spread too quick and itās back under control again.
With the helicopter not being able to drop water on it over the night it looks to have some more outbreaks of the fires. Hopefully they can dowse it out again today.
Really hard job for those guys working at it for over three days now

The terrain is very mountainous and steep so there are many areas only accessible by planes and helicoptersā¦ which can only be active when thereās daylight.
Scores of firefighters, local volunteers, and military personnel are continuing to battle the fire the best they can, where they can.
The weather forecast shows light rain tomorrow so fingers crossed we actually get itā¦ some rain would be a huge help in extinguishing this fire for good.

Update: The authorities have deemed todayās fire as āmanageableā and they believe it will be back under control by the end of the day. We are very fortunate not to have strong winds again today!

Thank you Sebastian from a very wet and dreary Suffolk
Itās gone again or is it just me?
Hi everybody, Villa Island View (home to the Webcam) is undergoing renovation work so the camera experienced downtime over the weekend. We remade the wiring temporarily to get the webcam up and running for you. Please note there will continue to be some downtime over the coming days due to the nature of the work. When the work is complete, the camera will be as stable as it was before but until then, we ask for your patience and understanding. Thank you!

sorted out with Speedy Cars Dimitri from Speedy is leaving the car at our studios the day we arrive and picking it up the day after we leave ( considering they are based in Limineria they couldnāt be more helpful ) this is why we love Greece and particularly Thassos - nothing is too much trouble
