Where is the mountain fire in Greece?

On August 15, a mountain fire broke out in the northeast of Athens, the capital of Greece, and the Greek government requested the assistance of the European Union to put out the fire. At present, Cyprus has decided to send 60 firefighters to help put out the fire, but Greece's request to France for four firefighting planes to help put out the fire was rejected.

The fire started in Karamos, a resort about 45 kilometers from Athens. After the fire broke out, it quickly spread to three surrounding towns, causing a large number of houses and thousands of hectares of pine forests to be burned. A state of emergency has been declared locally.

Regarding the cause of the fire, Greek state television quoted a local official as saying that the possibility of artificial and planned arson could not be ruled out.

Greece has a typical Mediterranean climate, which is controlled by the subtropical high zone in summer. It is very hot and dry, with frequent mountain fires. In the past five days, there have been 22 fires on the island of Zakingsos in western Greece. On June 5438+04, three mountain fires broke out in Ilya, Peloponnesian Peninsula, and villagers were evacuated in large numbers. Friends who are familiar with geography know that the Mediterranean climate is dry and hot in summer. At the end of July and the beginning of August every year, due to the influence of high temperature weather and artificial arson, forest fires often occur in Greece.
