While we have wildfires, here in Amercia, namely California, the nation of Greece is also fighting to save their properties.
Houses are theatened by a fire that broke out in the village of Kaletzi, north of Athens.
The fires ignited late Friday; by Sunday they were reported across an area more than 25 miles wide. They started in the mountains near the
town of Marathon, from which the modern long-distance foot race takes its name. Officials said the fire was threatening the archaeological site of Rhamnus, home to two 2,500-year-old temples. A total of 83 fires have broken out across Greece since 6 a.m. Saturday.
