Greek Firefighters Gain Ground on Deadly Four-Day Forest Blaze

Hundreds of firefighters, aided by international support, are containing a fire that has ravaged 16,000 acres in southern Greece.

Hundreds of firefighters, along with waterbombing planes and volunteers, have made significant progress in containing the blaze.
The fire, which has been burning for four days in the Corinthia area of the Peloponnese region, has killed two local residents.
The blaze has affected approximately 16,000 acres of rugged, mountainous terrain, leading to the evacuation of several villages.
International assistance from Italy and Croatia has bolstered local efforts, with 570 firefighters, 160 fire trucks, and 11 aircraft involved in the operation.
Authorities suspect the fire was accidentally started by a local beekeeper, who has been fined and will face judicial proceedings.
