Firefighters battle to contain Greek wildfires

The blaze broke out shortly after 14:00 local time (12:00 BST) on Friday in the Manoutso area, initially burning through dry grass and plots of land.

The flames grew quickly in size and intensity with thick smoke and strong gusts hampering firefighting efforts to tackle the blaze.
