Wildfire flares up again in Greece as water bombers deployed

A wildfire reignited in western Greece near Athens on August 3, 2026, despite some improvements in weather conditions. Firefighters and aerial units worked to contain the blaze, which had been raging for four days. The fire showed signs of fluctuation, with new flare-ups reported near Megara, approximately 30 kilometers west of Athens. Local officials described the situation as 'very dangerous' due to the fire's unpredictable movement toward an industrial zone. While no homes or businesses were damaged, the fire continued to threaten surrounding areas, with experts warning that rising temperatures could exacerbate the crisis. Residents expressed concern over the destruction of forests and olive groves, though limited residential damage was reported.
