As summer temperatures rise, Greece is once again confronting the threat of wildfires. On June 13, two separate blazes broke out in the Gerania mountains — one near Schino and another near Skalosia — prompting the deployment of eight firefighting vehicles and a helicopter.

The fires recall the devastating blazes that have scarred Greece in recent years, and emergency services are on high alert as the fire season intensifies.
