THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — A fast-moving wildfire broke out Saturday evening near the suburbs of Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city, the country’s Fire Service said, and residents of three small suburbs north of the city were told to evacuate.
The fire ignited in a ravine in a mountainous area around 8:30 p.m. (1730 GMT) and spread quickly, the Fire Service said. It spread to the plains, burning mostly through brush, and while no residences have been damaged, several businesses were set on fire, the service said.
