Big forest fires in Greece and France

2. August 2026, 10:45

Bad forest fires rage in Greece. The flames are high. A strong wind drives the fire. The fire moves fast to Athens. Athens is the capital city. Many people must leave their homes. Tourists are in danger too. Helicopters can not fly at night. This makes putting out the fire hard. Fire fighters from many countries help. They come from Romania and France. Volunteers help too. Diggers make deep holes in the earth. These holes are lines to stop the fire. Many houses are broken in Porto Germeno. A fire burns on the island of Kefalonia now too. The situation was very bad in France. It gets better now. The fire department has many fires under control. This means the fire does not grow. Many people can go back home. But many fire fighters are hurt. Big forest fires are in the USA now too.
