A huge wildfire raging out of control on the outskirts of the Greek capital prompted evacuation orders in the Athens suburbs on Sunday, while strong winds hampered the efforts of hundreds of firefighters and dozens of aircraft dropping water. The flames have reached a height of more than 25 metres. The Greek government has sought help by activating Europe’s mutual civil protection mechanism. The fire broke out on Sunday afternoon.
