» Greek forest fires continue to burn
Published 2007-09-04
Forest fires continued to burn in parts of southern Greece while the other main fronts of a series of massive fires have been extinguished, Greece's fire service said. Fires on Mt Parnon and Mt Taygetos, in the south-eastern Peloponnese, were still burning as strong winds and dry conditions kept fire officials on high alert. Fire Department spokesman Nikos Diamandis said major fires in three other provinces of the Peloponnese had been put out. The official death toll rose to 65 on Sunday when a seriously burned man on the island of Evia died in a hospital.
