#Greece, #Spain and #Portugal race to contain #wildfires as #EU steps up cross-border help

August 14, 2025

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — "Fire crews in Greece, Spain and Portugal raced to contain wildfires on Thursday, taking advantage of calmer winds that slowed the blazes even as much of southern Europe remained at high risk under hot, dry conditions.

"A drop in wind speeds allowed firefighting aircraft in the three hard-hit countries to step up water drops, concentrating on existing fire zones rather than chasing fast-moving fronts. Authorities warned that #ExtremeTemperatures are likely to persist.

"Spanish authorities reported the death of a 37-year-old volunteer firefighter who sustained severe burns in an area north of #Madrid this week. It was the third reported death in Spain due to the recent fires. Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes in the region and still can not return.

"In Greece, the Fire Service said a major blaze outside the southern port city of #Patras has been contained on the outskirts of urban areas after a large-scale deployment. Three people have been arrested in connection with the fire, which authorities said may have been deliberately set.

"#HighWinds in Greece shifted to different parts of the country on Thursday. Ioannis Kefalogiannis, the civil protection minister, said authorities were bracing for the likelihood of a new round of major fires."

Raging #wildfires force several Avalon communities to evacuate, others on alert
Fire duty officer Jeff Motty says
Tuesday's plan is to assess fires and attack

Elizabeth Whitten · CBC News · Posted: Aug 05, 2025

"Wildfires burning out of control on #Newfoundland's #AvalonPeninsula have forced hundreds of people from several communities to flee their homes and others to be ready to leave if the call comes.

"On Monday, residents in the Conception Bay North communities of Small Point–#AdamsCove – Blackhead – #BroadCove and Kingston were told to evacuate due to a burning wildfire near Kingston. Then, around 11:30 p.m., the town of Western Bay was told to evacuate, with the people in nearby Ochre Pit Cove being told to get ready to flee if necessary.

"A new fire near #Holyrood prompted partial evacuation of residents, and the Town of Conception Bay South also evacuated the area of the Conception Bay Highway west of Seal Cove Road.

" 'We've had an interesting fire season, to say the least,' provincial fire duty officer Jeff Motty told CBC Radio's The St. John's Morning Show on Tuesday.

"On Tuesday afternoon, Premier John Hogan said the fire had doubled overnight to more than 700 hectares.

"Crews were fighting the fire until late on Monday and he said they had hoped to see a break in fire behaviour in the evening due to increased humidity, but instead there was increased fire behaviour around 7:30.

" 'We've seen #drought-like conditions since the start of the season and we started our season early,' said Motty, pointing to the fire in May that forced an evacuation of Adam's Cove residents and destroyed 12 homes and 45 other structures.

"Motty said the plan for Tuesday morning is to assess the fire and determine the best way to fight it, adding they will have crews, water bombers and helicopters on the scene.

"But he couldn't say if the fire had damaged anything in the communities.

"Motty also said the fire's cause is currently under investigation, adding there's been lightning in the area but that fire can be human caused — possibly alluding to suspicions CBC News has reported from #ConceptionBay North residents who believe it could be #arson.

" 'I'm not making a judgment call, one way or another,' said Motty."
