Wildfires rage in Portugal, Greece and Spain while Greek authorities warn of toxic smoke

Wildfires are currently raging in Portugal, Greece, and Spain, prompting significant emergency responses. In Greece, toxic smoke from a wildfire near Thessaloniki forced residents to stay indoors and led to evacuations in nearby areas. Over 160 firefighters were deployed to combat the blaze, which damaged several properties. In Portugal, a large wildfire has been burning for over three days, covering 12,000 hectares, with over 1,200 firefighters and numerous aircraft involved in containment efforts. Spain and Italy provided additional support to Portugal, with Spain sending 120 firefighters and 45 vehicles. Meanwhile, a separate wildfire in Spain's Girona region has scorched nearly 2,200 hectares, with officials indicating challenges in fully containing the fire. A 76-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of starting the Greek blaze.
