Global News published this video item, entitled “Greece wildfires: Firefighters, residents fight to save homes ablaze in northern Athens” – below is their description.
Houses were engulfed in flames around Mount Penteli in northern Athens on Wednesday as firefighters spent the night trying to contain the blaze.
Homeowners joined the battle using garden hoses, shovels and buckets to save their properties and possessions from the flames, which consumed cars, houses and buildings.
Hundreds of firefighters and volunteers have been tackling the blaze that began on Tuesday and ripped through suburbs driven by strong winds that caused new fronts to constantly erupt. The winds were expected to persist until Wednesday afternoon.
