Greece's Fire Service

Evening winds fueled a major wildfire west of Greece's capital Thursday, triggering a series of new evacuations outside Athens as authorities braced for more of the extreme weather that has brought searing heat to southern Europe.

Authorities warn that a combination of heat and winds make it highly likely that wildfires will continue to break out Sunday, with the region of Attica, which includes Athens, and the island of Evia, in central Greece, considered especially vulnerable.
