Greek fire crews scramble to douse deadly wildfires raging for two weeks around the country as blazes threaten other parts of Europe and the Mediterranean region
A firefighter tries to extinguish a wildfire burning at the industrial zone of the city of Volos that forced a section of the country's busiest highway to close for several hours, while national rail services passing through the area were also delayed.
Near the central city of Volos , a wildfire burned on two fronts, forcing a section of Greece’s busiest highway to close for several hours, while national rail services passing through the area were delayed. Firefighters also battled flames on Rhodes for a 10th successive day, while flare-ups were reported on the island of Evia.
In Athens, senior members of the armed forces paid tribute to the two pilots killed in a firefighting plane crash earlier this week, at a ceremony held at the Defence Ministry. "Very high temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius and intense winds have created fire fronts of many kilometres," Civil Protection Minister Kikilias said, adding that crews were battling through"inconceivable fatigue."
