Wildfires fueled by strong winds broke out across several parts of Greece on Saturday, including a major blaze around 60km west of Athens. Emergency crews launched large-scale firefighting operations as authorities ordered evacuations in affected areas, with high winds making efforts to contain the fires increasingly difficult. The latest fires come as much of Europe continues to battle an intense wildfire season driven by record-breaking heatwaves and prolonged dry conditions. Greece had experienced a relatively quieter fire season than many neighbouring countries until this latest outbreak. Across Europe, wildfires have devastated communities in countries including Spain and France, destroying villages and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes and holiday accommodation. Officials continue to monitor conditions as strong winds and high temperatures increase the risk of further fires. #world #DailyMail #news #fire
