Greek Crews Battle Forest Fire at Kineta, West of Athens


A big fire broke out on the mountain slopes of Gerania, near the resort town of Kineta, about 50 km (30 miles) west of Athens.
Dozens of fire fighters aided by three water-dropping planes and two helicopters are trying to bring the fire under control.

Strong winds make their task difficult. Thick black smoke is seen rising in the air from kilometers away.
According to reports, the fire burns a pine forest in a difficult to reach mountain slope.
The fire service says that no residential areas are currently at risk.
