Wildfires in Greece

[Will E Worm]

ATHENS, Greece -- Fire burned through suburbs north of Athens early Sunday, destroying homes and forcing thousands to flee in nighttime evacuations, fire service and local officials said.

Authorities announced they were evacuating the suburb of Agios Stefanos, 14 miles northeast of Athens, as flames closed in on the town center. Low-flying planes were seen pouring water on burning houses.

Municipal officials in that area said the fire was threatening the archaeological site of Rhamnus, home to two 2,500-year-old temples.
