I believe that I learned about the wildfires that are burning in Greece yesterday. These wildfires are the worst that Greece has seen in ten years. At least 60 are dead and 100 are injured. I understand that Greece has asked for help from the European Union. Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today wrote about these wildfires in Greece on July 24th.

And it is not just Greece that is experiencing wildfires, Bill Gabbert reports on wildfires in Sweden on July 24th. There are also wildfires in Italy (see article 1, article 2, and article 3). Note these articles are in Italian and I had to use the translate feature on Google Chrome to get an English translation. There is also a wildfire burning in Cyprus, again I had to use the translate feature on Google Chrome to get an English translation. The links to articles about the wildfires in Italy and Cyprus are courtesy of Mike Archer's Wildfire News of the Day for July 24, 2018.
