Haze of smoke and ash hangs over Athens as wildfire burns for third day

About 350 firefighters and soldiers in Greece, assisted by water-dropping planes and dozens of fire engines, are struggling to contain a large wildfire raging for three days through pine forests north of Athens.

Nobody has been injured by the blaze between Varnavas and Kalamos, 28 miles from Athens, but at least 20 homes have been damaged.
