Greece blaze is ‘largest wildfire ever recorded in EU’

Al Jazeera  

The fire that began near the city of Alexandroupolis quickly spread across the Evros region, killing at least 20 people. A forest blaze in Greece is “the largest wildfire ever recorded in the EU” and the bloc is mobilising nearly half its firefighting air wing to tackle it, a European Commission spokesman said. Eleven aeroplanes and one helicopter from the EU fleet have been sent to help Greece counter the fire north of Alexandroupoli city, along with 407 firefighters, spokesman Balazs Ujvari said on Tuesday. “This wildfire is the largest in the EU since 2000, when the European Forest Fire Information System began recording data,” the service said. Greece’s fire service told the AFP news agency that the blaze was “still out of control” in the northeast region’s Dadia National Park, a major sanctuary for birds of prey.
