Three firefighters have died in Greece while battling two wildfires. Two of them were trapped by flames in their truck on the island of Crete, one 25 years old and the other 58. The third firefighter, a 30-year-old, died in Gythion, in the southern Peloponnese, after feeling unwell during firefighting efforts; his death was attributed to natural causes.
In Crete, seven towns were evacuated, affecting 1,600 residents and approximately 2,000 tourists. Two more firefighters were injured in eastern Crete.
