Athens – Forest and bush fires broke out again in Greece on Saturday. A particularly large fire raged on Saturday in a rural area near the port city of Alexandroupolis in the north-east of the country – there the citizens of several villages and settlements were called on by emergency SMS to be ready for a possible evacuation. In the afternoon, eight towns were evacuated for the time being. The nearby freeway had to be closed due to heavy smoke.
