UNSTOPPABLE WILDFIRE. Volunteers stand in front of a small pocket of fire as wildfires burn near Penteli on Monday. Greece’s civil protection authorities ordered the evacuation of several towns in the northeastern suburbs of Athens, threatened by a violent fire that started the day before and is spreading.
Television footage showed several charred cars and the roofs of stately homes burning as water-bombing helicopters roared overhead. The wildfire started on Sunday afternoon in the town of Varnavas, some 35 kilometers northeast of Athens. Authorities opened the Olympic stadium in northern Athens and other sports facilities to house thousands of people evacuated from the path of the blaze. Three major hospitals have been placed on standby.
