Zaharo Greece has burnt
| Quote From Source: | Wind-Whipped Fires in Greece Kill 49
ZAHARO, Greece (AP) - Fires pushed by gale-force winds tore through more parched forests, swallowed villages and scorched the edges of Athens on Saturday with ashes raining onto the Acropolis. The death toll rose to at least 49 as the government declared a nationwide state of emergency.
Soldiers and military helicopters reinforced firefighting forces that were stretched to the limit by Greece's worst summer of wildfires in decades. In the most ravaged area - a string of mountain villages in southern Greece - rescue crews picked through a grim aftermath that spoke of last-minute desperation as the fires closed in.
Dozens of charred bodies were found across fields, homes, along roads and in cars, including the remains of a mother hugging her four children.

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

Now this is a Greek Tragedy
| Quote From Source: | ATHENS, Greece (AP) - A helicopter swooped into a village in southern Greece to rescue residents trapped by flames on Monday - one of dozens of fires that have torn through village and forest across the country, leaving blackened landscape in their wake.
The fires have killed 63 people over four days, destroying everything in their path. One broke out on the fringe of Athens Monday, but was quickly brought under control. Another scorched the woodland around the birthplace of the Olympics.
A woman found dead on Friday with her arms around the bodies of four children had fled her home - the only house left standing in the village, said a neighbor in the Peloponnese town of Artemida. The home's white walls and red tile roof were unscathed.
