Strategies for Improving Fire Management for the Summer
March 9, 2026
The government is advancing plans for better fire management this year to avoid the issues of the previous summer. Legislative proposals are being prepared for the establishment of a National Civil Protection Mechanism and the position of National Coordinator. Fire Chief Nikos Logginos will temporarily take on the role of coordinator for this year's fires. This decision aims to improve coordinated responses from services during the fire season. These changes are expected to reduce ambiguity and delays in handling emergencies.
