The Greek authorities said that forest fires intensified at night and swept through the forests north of Athens for the second day on Tuesday, while firefighters were able to contain other fires in the southeast and west of the Greek capital. On Tuesday, a fire broke out in a forest burning uncontrollably in the Dervinochoria region, about 30 kilometers north of Athens, a fire service official said. Greek media reported that the fire threatened a pig farm.
