Wildfires have surged across southern Europe, forcing firefighters to confront rapidly spreading flames under challenging conditions. Countries such as Albania, Greece, Montenegro, Spain, and Turkey are experiencing severe fire outbreaks, with particular urgency in Patras, Greece, where a major blaze is threatening local communities. Firefighters are struggling to contain the blazes, with high winds exacerbating the spread and making containment efforts particularly difficult. Emergency services are working around the clock to protect residents and critical infrastructure, but the scale of the fires has raised concerns about potential long-term environmental and economic impacts.
