Huge Athens Forest Fire Burns 25 Homes
| Quote From Source: | ATHENS, Greece - A huge forest fire burned two dozen homes, animals and cars in the northern outskirts of Athens before firefighters extinquished most of it, officials said Friday.
The fire Thursday also forced the evacuation of medical clinics and a summer camp. Gale force winds fanned on the flames on Mount Penteli, hampering firefighters and preventing water-dropping aircraft from reaching the scene for nearly two hours.
More than 300 firemen, assisted by the aircraft and volunteers eventually extinguished the major fronts of the blaze and remained on alert in case winds rekindled it, a fire brigade spokeswoman said.

They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.
