Nikos Matthaiakis, a fisherman from Agia Galini, braved severe wildfires and winds reaching up to 160 kilometers per hour to rescue approximately 30 people trapped on a beach in southern Crete. Despite the danger, he used his small fishing boat to repeatedly approach the shore, defying flames and explosions from gas cylinders. The rescue operation was successful, with the trapped people initially taken by Matthaiakis' boat and then transferred to coast guard vessels.
