And he calls me and tells me ‘Sofaki, stay home, because Mati has caught fire and it’s a disaster. I’m taking the Brigadier General and anyone else I can to go save, because people are burning and drowning. And we’ll do the barbecue another day,'” recalled Sofia Arvaniti.
“Until 1 am I was calling to see what was happening and the people he had saved answered and said ‘don’t worry, he has gone out again to take the next ones'”, added Sofia Arvaniti.
