"My heart has to calm down, I've got to start everything again from scratch," Kostis Angelou told AFP while he surveyed the charred corpses of his 372 goats.Greek firefighters have been bolstered by more than 1,200 reinforcements from numerous countries particularly in Europe, as well as vehicles and equipment.
Although Greece suffers from regular wildfires during hot, dry summers, this year the land area burnt has dwarfed previous years. Dimitris Haliotis of the Red Cross said "the entire ecosystem is destroyed" on Evia island, with hundreds of forest animals killed.There have been growing calls in Greece for the resignation of top public safety officials who as recently as June had insisted that the country was well-prepared.
"We faced an operationally unique situation with 586 fires in eight days during the worst weather phenomenon in 40 years," he said on Tuesday.
