Episode Details

A deadly wildfire west of Athens rages on, forcing more evacuations after a tragic midair collision killed two firefighting crew members—one Greek and one Danish in one chopper, another Greek and British in the other. Ten aircraft and nearly 500 firefighters battled the blaze fueled by fierce winds, while authorities suspect sparks from a faulty power line at a wind farm sparked the fire—leading to arrests of an engineer, contractor, and warrant for the facility’s owner. With winds easing slightly, crews race to build firebreaks as temperatures rise, threatening the wider Athens region. Meanwhile, France’s massive wildfire—four times the size of Paris—is now contained but still smolders, displacing over 200,000; Spain’s fires add to Europe’s emergency strain as wildfires grow fiercer and more frequent across the continent.
