Forest fires continue to burn in Greece
Forest fires continued to burn in parts of southern Greece while the other main fronts of a series of massive fires have been extinguished, Greece’s fire service said today.
Fires on Mt Parnon and Mt Taygetos, in the south-eastern Peloponnese, still burned today as strong winds and dry conditions kept fire officials on high alert. Fire Department spokesman Nikos Diamandis said major fires in three other provinces of the Peloponnese had been put out.
