A massive blaze in the Evros and Alexandroupolis regions, believed to have caused the deaths of 20 people, was burning for a ninth day.
More than 600 firefighters, including reinforcements from several European countries, backed by a fleet of water-dropping planes and helicopters were battling three persistent major wildfires in Greece on Sunday, two of which have been raging for days.
The wildfire has scorched 77,000 hectares of land and had 120 active hotspots, the European Union’s Copernicus Emergency Management Service said on Sunday. The fire department said 260 firefighters, one plane and three helicopters were trying to tame the flames. On Saturday, firefighters tackled 122 blazes, including 75 that broke out in the 24 hours between Friday evening and Saturday evening, the fire department said.
