The Fire Service took over the protection of the community of Arakapas and the Department of Forests took over the forest area of the region.
Από την πυρκαγιά επηρεάστηκαν κατοικίες στην κοινότητα Αρακαπά. Η Π.Υ επιχειρεί για κατάσβεση τους. Τα άτομα τα οποία διέμεναν στις κατοικίες μεταφέρονται από την Αστυνομία και Πολιτική Άμυνα σε κέντρο αναψυχής στην Επταγώνια. Εκκενώνεται αυτή τη στιγμή και η κοινότητα Μελίνης.
