Helicopter Crash Amid Greece Wildfire | Roanoke News

Greece battles a deadly wildfire near Athens as two firefighting helicopters collide mid-air, killing two crew members—one Greek, one Danish—while battling flames fueled by fierce winds. The blaze, sparked by a faulty power line linked to a wind turbine, has forced over a thousand evacuations, including beach rescues, as temperatures climb and winds ease slightly. Meanwhile, France grapples with its own massive fire, four times the size of Paris. Two others on board the second chopper—Greek and British—were injured but stable. Authorities have arrested an engineer and contractor over suspected negligence, amid ongoing concerns about arson and summer wildfire risks.
