Authorities battling a major wildfire in northeastern Greece that has been described as the European Union’s largest recorded single fire have recovered another body, the fire department says.
Across Greece, hundreds of firefighters were making headway Friday in tackling multiple wildfires burning for days, including the major blaze near Alexandroupolis and one on the fringes of Athens.
According to the European Union’s Copernicus Emergency Management Service, the Alexandroupolis fire had scorched more than 772 square kilometers by Thursday. Copernicus is the EU space program’s Earth observation component and uses satellite imagery to provide mapping data. To the south in Athens, a major fire that scorched homes on the fringes of the Greek capital and entered the national park on Mount Parnitha had one main active front, the fire department said. The blaze was being tackled by 260 firefighters backed up by 77 vehicles, 8 planes and five helicopters.
