3 FIREFIGHTERS IN GREECE KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY
Three Greek Firefighters died in the Line of Duty fighting fires during high winds on the island of Crete and the mainland as wildfires spread across Europe on Wednesday after days of devastating fires in Spain and France.
2 Firefighters became trapped in the Crete blaze near the village of Krya Vrysi while they were driving between fire fronts. Another died in a separate fire in the Peloponnese region. Our condolences to all those affected. Rest In Peace.
Take Care. Be Careful. Pass It On.
