August 28, 2007: Greece fires from space
 Yeah yeah, I couldn't help but use the term "greece fires". Sue me. Spacecow first noticed these, and then dar512 posted a copy in our Quality Images area. These are fires as seen from satellite, but the light red bits are actually circles of where the fires actually are. After a week of heat wave there are now over 200 fires during in Greece and other sections of southeastern Europe. |

They have photos of some of these fires being set by arsonists, speculating they were hired by real estate developers. Tragic.

Nothing tougher to put out than a "greece" fire.
