Ongoing fires have scorched 310 square miles, in the largest blaze recorded since the European Union began keeping track in 2000, Balazs Ujvari, a spokesman for the bloc’s executive branch, said in a statement.The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Greece is parched after a summer of record-setting heat and attendant blazes across Europe and North Africa, which scientists say has been exacerbated by human-induced climate change. The E.U. has launched its largest aerial firefighting operation to date, Ujvari said Tuesday, and was sending 11 firefighting planes, one helicopter and 400 firefighters to assist Greece.
