Key takeaway Further details on the European wildfire crisis are available from KPRC 2 and Click2Houston.
A wildfire crisis is affecting several European countries. Greece is currently at the center of the crisis, with gale-force winds driving flames into the Athens region. This has led to fresh evacuations and is threatening villages and an industrial district.
In other parts of Europe, the situation is different. France is guarding a large wildfire scar, while Spain's major fires have stopped advancing. The situation in France is being closely monitored to prevent the fire from spreading again.
