Fire breaks out in West Attica town of Megara
The Greek capital's fire department on Friday was battling a wildfire in Mavrovouni, a rural outskirt of the West Attica town of Megara.
Thirty firefighters in 16 trucks, two ground units, two water-dumping airplanes and a helicopter have been dispatched to contain the blaze, which was burning through hard-to-access woodland, the Athens-Macedonian News Agency reported.
The fire service is eager to bring the fire under control before nightfall.
