The Kavala Fire Service has issued a public reminder that it will show "zero tolerance" toward negligence in fire prevention, urging residents and landowners to clear dry vegetation and complete other required fire-safety measures around properties by the end of October. The warning follows a summer marked by several small vegetation fires around the wider Kavala area, including near Krinides and Ofrynio. Officials say early compliance reduces the risk of larger fires as conditions remain dry into autumn.
