Published 2007-09-06
A fire that raged in Greece for nearly a fortnight before being extinguished this week claimed a 66th life on Wednesday after a burns victim died in hospital, the fire department said. An airman injured on August 25 whilst helping firemen fight a blaze in Kalyvia near Athens died in a military hospital this morning, a fire brigade press officer said. He had burns on 70 percent of his body, the officer said. The remnants of the blaze that began on August 24, and mainly raged in the Peloponnese peninsula south of Athens, continued to smoulder Wednesday in 11 locations including the Ionian island of Zakynthos.
