Fires in Greece this summer will burn an area of at least 150,000 hectares (370,600), the Greek prime minister said Thursday, including a large fire in the north which has been burning for nearly two weeks. The area ravaged by fires ‘will exceed 1,500,000,000 square metres (150,000 hectares) including the fire in the Dadia forest’, said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, referring to the forest fire that the EU has branded the largest ever recorded in the bloc.
