Rescued four occupants of two helicopters that collided while fighting a serious fire west of Athens

Two firefighting helicopters collided while battling a wind-driven forest fire near Porto Germeño, west of Athens. Both helicopters had two crew members each, totaling four individuals who were rescued, though two were unconscious and taken to the hospital. The incident occurred in the area of Psatha, and the victims included four men, two Greeks and two foreigners. Authorities reported that the fire has affected over 10,000 hectares, potentially qualifying as a 'megafire.' Evacuations were ordered in several nearby communities, including Kandili, Agia Skepi, and Toutouli, due to smoke and fire threats. Firefighters continue efforts to prevent the blaze from reaching the western outskirts of Athens.
