"Forest fires - Heat and wind pose major risk
20th July 2009 ekathimerini

Sweltering temperatures and strong winds resulted in several fires breaking out in different parts
of the country yesterday. One of the worst blazes was on the Ionian island of Zakynthos. Six
water-dropping aircraft helped firemen on the ground to bring the blaze under control by
yesterday evening. Local authorities are today on standby in many parts of the country following
a warning yesterday by the General Secretariat for Civil Protection that stronger winds will pose a
serious fire risk in many parts."

Det brinner lite här och där just nu, fastlandet var det en ganska stor brand vid Thiva i går, samt Attika på Evia brinner det oxå. Det är varmt nu och i helgen väntar temperaturen överstiga 43 grader.

Heat and wind stoke blazes
As temperatures soared and winds remained high across much of the country yesterday, firefighters battled to control serious blazes in Livadia, north of Attica, and in southern Crete.
Two water-dropping aircraft and two helicopters helped firefighters to tackle a blaze that broke out early in the afternoon near Livadia in the prefecture of Viotia. Fanned by strong winds, the fire spread toward the village of Davleio but had been brought under control by late yesterday. Another fire near the popular Cretan resort of Ierapetra also kept firemen busy for several hours but had been contained by late afternoon.
Meanwhile, prefectural authorities in Athens closed all roads leading to Hymettus and Pendeli mountains to protect forestland from would-be arsonists or accidental fire starters. The Peloponnesian prefecture of Ileia, the worst hit by the catastrophic fires of 2007, has seen 68 blazes so far this year, most believed to have been started through negligence.
