Greece Launches Emergency Animal Rescue Line Amid Wildfires

Authorities have activated the telephone hotline 10400 to receive reports about animals at risk in the areas of Vilia and Megara, where emergency services continue responding to dangerous conditions.

The dedicated line allows residents and rescue teams to report animals that need urgent assistance, including pets, livestock and wildlife affected by the ongoing emergency situation.

Officials urged citizens who locate animals in distress or trapped in affected areas to contact the hotline so rescue teams can coordinate assistance and provide support.

The activation of the 10400 line forms part of wider emergency measures to protect both residents and animals as authorities monitor developments in Vilia and Megara.

Authorities reminded the public not to approach animals in dangerous areas without guidance from rescue teams, as frightened animals may behave unpredictably and conditions may remain hazardous.
