Fire rages for second day near Greek capital

None

A major fire south of the Greek capital is raging for the second day, with gale-force winds hampering firefighting efforts.

 

More than 150 firefighters and soldiers using more than 60 vehicles were battling the blaze south of Athens, along with two water-dropping planes and a helicopter. Greece has also asked Italy, France and Croatia for help in the form of more firefighting planes. (AP)
