According to the BBC they evacuated 3 hotels yesterday including the Kiotari Bay, as a precaution.
Im starting to get really worried about these fires now... you guys are lucky! my dad lives in Rhodes and he may loose his house... its a pain when you cant do anything to help in UK! 
My mum, step dad and sister live in Masari and i have a lot of friends over there so i know exactly how tough it is being stuck in the uk!
Just looked on a website and it appears the fires are under control or so they say... they are on standby though! Thank God! 
My mum says they think it is under control now - they just have to pray that the wind doesn't whip up again.
My sister was very pleased she could actually see the stars last night

Hi
No-one died, the fires are out and they will be fine-no hotels burnt down or anything.
The Foreign Office has just issued a notice saying that the fires have been extinguished and that all services have been resumed as normal:
