ATHENS, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Three separate wildfires were reported on Sunday in the southern Peloponnese, with all three luckily being extinguished towards the evening hours, according to Athens News Agency.
According to the report, a massive fire-fighting effort, including dozens of vehicles, two aircraft and three helicopters, finally put out the wildfire on Sunday. It is claiming that more than 350 hectares of forest and crops have been destroyed.
Scorching hot temperatures amounting to 40 degrees Celsius have been recorded Sunday throughout Greece.
Due to the extremely high and dry weather, forest fires easily break out during the summer time in Mediterranean countries. In 2007 big fires broke out in Greece with more than 60 deaths.
