As wildfires on the Greek island of Rhodes rage on, more than 19,000 people have been evacuated from either their homes or hotels as of Sunday — 3,000 of which were via boat.

The evacuations are, what officials are calling, the biggest safe transport of residents and tourists Greece has carried out, with many relocating to different villages on the island, to shelters, back to mainland Greece, or even back to their respective home countries.

“It was horrendous. It was absolutely … I've never been so scared in my entire life,” Fay Mortimer, an English tourist travelling with her 15-year-old daughter said on Sunday from a Greek shelter.

Firefighters, backed by aircraft that dropped water, battled three fronts on Sunday, setting up firebreaks to prevent flames from spreading to a dense forest or threatening more residential areas.
