Emergency crews west of Athens are battling multiple fast-moving wildfire fronts near Porto Germeno and western Attica, where gale-force winds and rugged terrain forced the sea evacuation of more than 250 residents cut off by advancing flames. The operation turned tragic when two Bell firefighting helicopters engaged in aerial water-dropping missions collided in mid-air over the Psatha area, resulting in the deaths of a Danish pilot and a Greek fire service liaison officer, while two other crew members survived.
