A fire broke out on June 27, 2026, in a woodland area near the village of Petra in Boeotia, Greece, around 1:30 PM. Due to the fire's proximity to residential areas, authorities issued an emergency evacuation notice via the 112 messaging system, advising residents to move towards Livadia. Initial reports noted that the flames had begun to enter the village, prompting a swift response from emergency services.

The firefighting efforts involved approximately 45 firefighters who were supported by two ground teams from the 4th EMOD, as well as 13 fire engines. Aerial support included six aircraft and one helicopter that conducted water drops to combat the advancing flames. This fire incident followed another significant fire that had occurred earlier on the same day in the Saint Basil area of Boeotia, although that fire was reported to be under control. The ongoing fires in the region are exacerbated by strong winds, with Boeotia categorized as facing a high risk (level 4) for fire activity.
