Greek forest fires

So sad to hear about the forest fires of Greece this year, particularly the loss of lives. Even having spent time there these past few years, I can only begin to imagine the disruption to people's lives and livelihoods. Must be very hard to start again after such tragedy. A lot of issues here. According to this news article Greece has had 120 forest fires this year compared with 52 in 2006. A particularly bad year....but I'd no idea that so many occurred each year.
