Portugal’s blaze, now over 12,000 hectares, draws reinforcements from Spain and Italy. In Greece, a recycling plant fire near Thessaloniki releases toxic smoke, while another near Athens threatens pine forests—both under siege by hundreds of firefighters and aircraft. A 76-year-old man faces arrest for allegedly starting the plant fire through negligence, following a tragic loss of a father and 12-year-old son in a recent blaze. Spain’s Girona fire, consuming nearly 2,200 hectares, remains out of control, with officials fearing containment by nightfall. Greece’s recurring wildfire crisis, worsened by climate change, is turning to tech—new satellite systems—to monitor and fight blazes during scorching summers.
