Greece is having a summer for the books. After two devastating fires earlier this month in the Peloponnese and Evia that burnt thousands of acres of forest land, many homes, and even wiped out whole villages from the map, it was ‘our turn’ last week here in West Attica. A fire in the area of Villia blazed for five consecutive days, every day getting closer and closer to my seaside town near Athens, making everybody nervous. I do confess, I did pack, just in case. The only ray of sunshine we had last week was the swims at the local beach that daily came with a free air show! Both Erickson helicopters and Canadair planes kept coming over to refill. Even 6 Canadair planes at one time. And they all came and went perfectly synchronized. Everyone held their phones at the ready and I couldn’t help myself either. 
GO HERE FOR A VIDEO OF TWO ERICKSON HELICOPTERS AND HERE FOR A VIDEO OF CANADAIR AIRPLANES FILLING UP FROM THE SEA TO FIGHT THE FIRE.
