Firefighters have gained ground against the Paros wildfire, but strong winds continue to raise concerns over possible flare-ups.

The situation in the wildfire that broke out on Paros on Tuesday has improved, according to the latest update from the Greek Fire Service.

Authorities said the blaze no longer has a single active front, although firefighters continue to tackle scattered hotspots and smoke across the affected area.

Strong ground and aerial firefighting forces remain deployed as crews continue suppression efforts and carry out extensive water drops to prevent flare-ups.

Authorities remain on heightened alert due to strong winds in the area, which could reignite existing hotspots.

Emergency services are continuously monitoring the situation as they work towards fully containing and extinguishing the fire.

Firefighting resources are expected to remain on site for as long as necessary.
