A 72 year man remained there,
sadly, all the Olive groves went up in a fast fire
warm winds helping the Fire jump village to village


The Firefighters are working hard
but these flames get so high they jump from tree to tree
so fast.

These freaky weather conditions are becoming a bit more frequent recently.

Or I'm just noticing it more.

[Nicky91]

UK only reporting about this now?


i've seen this quite entire week on german news shows RTL Aktuell and Tagesschau




Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis blames this on climate change, basically they had been coping same as Turkey with a very bad heatwave, between 43C and 46C


i've looked now what weather is like now in athens region on our weather site Weerplaza (currently 32C and still very dry and the entire 2 weeks remain dry so this will remain tough struggle for the firefighters)

Well, if you wanted to push climate change, this would be a perfect advertisement for it. So either it was caused by climate change or someone who wanted to push the narrative of climate change started it deliberately.

There's been hotter times in Greece before and this never happened.

My guess would be that it was started deliberately to push the globalist climate change agenda, which in reality is just a money making scheme.

''One of the worst blazes has struck the island of Evia, close to Athens''
Thousands of tourists and residents have been evacuated from towns north of the Greek capital, Athens, as wildfires spread across the country.

Strong winds and high temperatures are making it difficult to control the blazes, which have killed at least two people, including a firefighter.

Huge clouds of smoke and ash near Athens has meant some people there have also been urged to leave their homes.

More than 150 fires have been reported. Six areas have been put on high alert.

Greece, like many parts of Europe, has been grappling with extreme weather this summer. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the fires showed "the reality of climate change".

Hundreds of firefighters are trying to control the fires with about 20 water-bombing aircraft. Extra firefighters and planes are being sent in from countries including the UK, France and the US.

The UK government said Home Secretary Priti Patel was sending "experienced firefighters" after witnessing the "devastating effect" of the fires while in Greece earlier this week.


''A resident of a town on the northern outskirts of Athens inspects the damage caused by a wildfire''

Fanned by unpredictable winds, the worst blazes are around the north of Athens. A 38-year-old volunteer firefighter was killed by a falling electricity pole in a suburb of the city.

The other victim was the president of the Athens Chamber of Commerce, Konstantinos Michalos. He was found unconscious in a factory close to where a fire was raging.

A further 20 people have been injured.

The fires are expected to continue to burn and spread on Saturday, despite a drop in temperatures to around 35C (95F) from above 40C earlier this week.

Thousands of people were earlier ordered to leave their homes outside Athens as the blaze tore through houses, cars and businesses.

Fires have also been raging on the nearby island of Evia, and areas close to ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games.

Government minister Nikos Hardalias said firefighters were facing extremely dangerous conditions.

"Wildfires of unprecedented intensity and spread, all our forces are fighting the battle day and night to save lives, together with volunteers," he said.


''Hundreds of residents of Evia island were evacuated on ferries''


''Some locals also had to evacuate with their animals''

Hundreds of residents and tourists on Evia have been evacuated using ferries and fishing boats, as wildfires closed in on its shores.

"We're talking about the apocalypse, I don't know how to describe it," Sotiris Danikas, a coastguard official on the island, told broadcaster ERT.

Smell of smoke, ash on the ground
By Bethany Bell BBC News, Athens

The air in northern Athens is full of the smell of smoke, and there is a thin layer of ash on the ground. People from some of the outer suburbs have been evacuated from their homes.

Last night, one man stared in horror as the flames headed down the mountainside towards his house.

Planes and helicopters carrying water to drop on the flames flew overhead, but emergency crews are struggling to stop the wildfires from spreading.

The strong, hot winds are not helping. Greece, like much of the rest of Europe, has been grappling with extreme weather this summer.

In neighbouring Turkey, authorities are battling the country's worst-ever wildfires.

Eight people have been killed and tens of thousands evacuated along the southern coast. Six more neighbourhoods near a power station were evacuated on Friday.

Climate change increases the risk of the hot, dry weather that is likely to fuel wildfires.

The world has already warmed by about 1.2C since the industrial era began and temperatures will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to emissions.

[Ammi]

…this is an horrendous situation, the images of people fleeing their homes…just terrifying…and the desperation and impossibility of the attempts to dampen down and delay the fires…helplessly watching and living the destruction to everything around them….it’s a living nightmare….
