Village of Dadia evacuated for second time
The fire burning near the nature reserve of Dadia, near the border with Turkey in northeastern Greece, for a fourth day, is again threatening the village of the same name, forcing authorities to ask the residents to evacuate it for a second time.
But more fires have started, in the Peloponnese, Western Macedonia, Central Greece and Crete.
Hot and dry weather conditions, along with high winds that often abruptly change direction, are feeding the wildfires. Fire Service spokesman Yannis Artopoios said Sunday that 141 wildfires have started over the past three days.
