Wildfire rages near Athens for second day forcing hundreds to evacuate
#breakingnews #wildfire #greece
Terrifying footage from Porto Germeno, Greece, shows firefighters and emergency responders forced to retreat as a raging wildfire, driven by violent gale-force winds exceeding 73 km/h, engulfed forests, homes, and olive groves just northwest of Athens. With extreme turbulence hindering firefighting aircraft, over 300 firefighters backed by heavy machinery fought to contain the megafire. Authorities launched dramatic sea evacuations, using Greek Coast Guard patrol boats and local vessels to rescue over 300 residents trapped on the beaches of Agios Vasileios and Porto Germeno. As heatwave conditions continue across Southern Europe, emergency alerts remain at maximum levels for the Attica, Viotia, and Evia regions.
