There is a very high (category 4) fire risk on Tuesday in the regional units of Attica, Crete, Peloponnese, Sterea Ellada, Western Macedonia, Northern Aegean, Eastern Macedonia, and Thrace, according to the Fire Danger Forecast Map issued by the General Secretariat for Civil Protection at the climate crisis and civil protection ministry, ANA reports.
The general secretariat has advised state and local services in these areas to be on alert so as to immediately deal with any fires that may occur, including aerial and ground patrols. 
The ministry has advised the public to be exceptionally careful and avoid any activity in the open that could accidentally cause a fire, such as burning vegetation, using machinery that creates sparks, lighting barbecues, or throwing away lit cigarettes. It also reminded the public to alert the fire brigade via the emergency number 199 in the case of fire.
