What is still disrupted in Argolida: Nea Kios and the Argos plain
Checked against Argos fire service call-outs reported locally, and Region of the Peloponnese civil protection notices on 2026-08-14. Conditions change daily during and after a fire, and the source below is the authority.
- Check locally: No authority statement found for the burnt ground mapped by Nea Kios. Burnt-area mapping dates the burn to 7 August. Searches of Greek civil protection material and Argolida reporting for that date returned fire danger forecasts rather than any incident at Nea Kios. (as of 2026-08-14)
- Advice in force: Fire service called to the old Nea Kios landfill on 13 August. The Argos fire service went to the abandoned landfill at Bombeika, also given as Grimaria, on the afternoon of Thursday 13 August. Waste material was burning rather than forest, and strong wind made the work harder. (as of 2026-08-13)
- Advice in force: Argolida in the alarm state for fire danger on 14 August. The Region of the Peloponnese posted the extreme fire danger category, the alarm state, for Friday 14 August, covering Argolida and Corinthia. (as of 2026-08-14)
