ATHENS - Thousands of people fled from a fire at a migrant camp on Lesbos on Monday night, a police official on the Greek island said, noting that there had been noticeable tension among residents earlier in the evening, before the blaze started.
The fire brigade was investigating the cause of the fire, the official said.
"There is a big fire at the hot spot (migrant camp). Almost all the migrants evacuated," said the official, who declined to be named. "There was tension in the evening. Our main concern is the safety of the people. The fire is quite big."
