Be careful, wildfires are spreading all over Greece again

[redsoxdw_]

It's been all over the news… There are wildfires in Crete, Cephalonia, and Athens. This is pretty common in Greece, especially in the summertime so the country is taking extra precautions to get ahead of these wildfires early. Last summer, the country received aid from Italy to help stop the spread. If you notice that you are near a wildfire, I recommend that you follow the orders and evacuate immediately. You must be very careful because evacuations can cause massive traffic jams which make it very difficult to leave. If you notice that there's a fire call 100 which is Greece's emergency line.

I didn't realize wildfires were so common here. I guess that makes sense, given how hot and dry everything can get. Do most of these fires end up dying down without a lot of damage?
