One Dead As Devastating Wildfires Ravage Southern Greece

One Dead As Devastating Wildfires Ravage Southern Greece Strong winds are fanning deadly wildfires in Greece’s southern tip, leading to the death of a 55-year-old man and forcing evacuations in several towns. Firefighters are battling multiple blazes in regions such as Ilia and Achaia. Local officials have reported extensive damage to homes, stables, livestock, and agricultural production. Officials said, “The weather conditions were very difficult. We had really strong winds, we had a fast spread and it was very difficult to deal with them.” Around 120 firefighters, assisted by numerous engines, have been deployed to control the fires in Achaia. Wildfires, now more devastating due to hotter, drier, and windier summers, are increasingly linked to climate change, according to experts. --- Wildfires | Greece | Firefighters | Climate Change | Death | Evacuation | Towns | Ilia | Livestock | Achaia | Agriculture | Fire | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #wildfire #greece #firefighters #climatechange #death #evacuation #towns #ilia #livestock #agriculture #fire #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
