ATHENS: Greek firefighters said Sunday they were slowly bringing under control a major forest fire in a nature conservation area near Athens as the government promised financial aid to those affected. 
No injuries have been reported so far in Greece’s first big forest fire of the summer, but around a dozen houses have been destroyed or damaged and villages and hamlets evacuated in what experts warned could be an ecological disaster.
“The fire is officially diminishing. It’ll be a matter of hours before we can bringing it fully under control,” a spokesman for the firefighters, Vassilis Vathrakogiannis, told Greek news agency ANA.
