Greece’s firefighters are locked in a desperate fight against a raging wildfire west of Athens, where two helicopters collided mid-air Sunday, killing two crew members—just as the blaze, sparked by a faulty power line, surged through pine forests fueled by fierce winds. Hundreds of ground crews and ten aircraft battled the flames Monday, while over a thousand residents were evacuated, some rescued by boat. Two suspects have been arrested. Though winds eased slightly, officials warn fire risks remain high amid soaring temperatures. Meanwhile, France’s massive wildfire is now contained but still leaves thousands displaced. Across Europe, these deadly blazes—often worsened by human negligence—are forcing hundreds of thousands from their homes and straining emergency services.
