Firefighters in Greece are battling scattered fires as they work to contain the aftermath of a major wildfire that burned into the northern suburbs of Athens. The fire, which left at least one person dead, no longer has active, advancing fronts thanks to dying winds overnight. Firefighters are now focusing on extinguishing flames in hundreds of slow-burning areas.
Authorities are racing against time to extinguish as much of the blaze as possible before winds pick up again on Tuesday afternoon, with gusts predicted to reach up to 60-70 kilometers per hour. Reinforcements from various countries, including France, Italy, and Turkey, have arrived to support the firefighting efforts.
