## Resource

Southern Europe is reeling from catastrophic wildfires as Portugal, Greece, and Spain battle blazes that threaten lives, property, and the environment. In Portugal, a fire spanning 12,000 hectares shows signs of slowing but still smolders, while Spain and Italy deploy reinforcements. Greece faces dual emergencies: a recycling plant fire spews toxic smoke, forcing residents indoors, and another blaze near Athens consumes pine forests with hundreds of firefighters and aircraft battling flames. Human error fuels the crisis — a 76-year-old man was arrested for allegedly starting a fire with his vehicle, following a tragic incident where a father and his 12-year-old son perished. With fires devouring thousands of hectares and conditions worsening, experts warn that prevention and vigilance are critical to stopping these disasters before they escalate.
