ATHENS, Greece — Hundreds of firefighters and volunteers in southern Greece battled for a third day on Tuesday a large wildfire that has killed two people and devastated a large forested area. The fire service said more than 400 firefighters, assisted by 20 waterbombing aircraft, were engaged against the blaze in the mountains of Corinthia in the Peloponnese region. The authorities were optimistic that progress has been made as the main front of the blaze was out, leaving a large number of scattered fires. However, it remained unclear whether that success could be expanded on before winds whipped up and spread the blaze again. …The two victims were identified as local residents who got trapped late Sunday by the fast-advancing blaze. Greece is plagued every summer by destructive wildfires that have been exacerbated by global warming. Over the past few months, the fire service has had to cope with more than 4,500 wildfires.
