ZAHARO, Greece (AP) — The prime minister declared a nationwide state of
emergency Saturday as massive forest fires swept across Greece, killing at least
46 people and injuring dozens more in the worst wildfires the country has seen
in decades.
More than 170 fires have devastated vast areas of the country
since Friday, with the most severe in the Peloponnese to the south, and Prime
Minister Costas Karamanlis said arson was suspected in some.
This is in the south of the country where the historical cities of Sparta and Corinth are. These cities don't appear to be in danger though.
