ATHENS, Greece—A new fire broke out Friday on Greece’s island of Evia, but south from an area where a massive wildfire decimated forests, torched homes, and still smoldered 10 days after it started.
Greece’s fire department said four water-dropping aircraft and six helicopters were sent to control the new fire in central Evia, along with 23 firefighters and 10 vehicles. The larger fire that broke out on Aug. 3 destroyed most of the island’s north and is one of the country’s worst-known forest fires.
