Firefighters in Greece gained ground Tuesday against a wildfire burning for a fifth day on the outskirts of Athens, as easing winds allowed water-bombing aircraft back into the skies in force. Most of the destruction from the fire, which broke out Friday, was in villages on the Gulf of Corinth including Porto Germeno, where scores of homes are thought to have been destroyed or damaged. At Porto Germeno on Tuesday, police had set up checkpoints controlling access to the area as authorities assessed the damage. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has warned that Greece faces "extremely difficult" days ahead as high temperatures and dry conditions continue to fuel fires. Like much of the Mediterranean, Greece has experienced increasingly frequent and intense wildfires that scientists link to climate change.
