Firefighters tackle wildfires in Greece and Turkey
The article reveals that forest fires continue to rage in Southeast Europe, particularly in Greece and Turkey, due to hot, dry weather and strong winds, which have complicated firefighting efforts. In Greece, fires have broken out on the island of Crete, prompting the Coast Guard to evacuate around 50 people from the coastline, with three firefighters losing their lives and four others injured. Firefighting operations are ongoing for the second consecutive day, despite limited use of aircraft and helicopters because of the winds. In Turkey, 163 out of 169 fires have been brought under control with the help of 21 aircraft, 69 helicopters, and over 3,500 personnel, while other fires remain under control or are transitioning toward containment. Weather experts forecast that strong winds will continue, hampering firefighting efforts and prolonging the duration of the fires.
