People have been ordered to leave popular tourist spots
Greece's Emergency Communications Service has issued evacuation orders this evening as the problem worsens. Fire broke out in the north part of the island of Corfu on Sunday afternoon - while fire chaos still rages on Rhodes.
Families are continuing to flee tourist spots in Greece as flames cause "hell like" conditions as officials warn things could worsen. And firefighters in Rhodes believe the blazes on the Greek island may have been started on purpose. Vassilis Vathrakogiannis, from the Rhodes Fire Department, told reporters that the blistering heatwave may not be to blame for the heartbreaking blaze.
