More than 100 firefighters battle large wildfire on eastern Greek island of Chios
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — More than 100 firefighters assisted by water-dropping helicopters and planes were battling a large wildfire burning near the main town of the eastern Aegean island of Chios Sunday, with emergency services ordering the evacuation of a dozen areas. The fire department said three separate blazes had broken out in the morning and mid-day Sunday near the town of Chios. The flames were fanned by strong winds, leaving firefighters struggling to contain what turned into one large blaze. The fire department said it was sending an arson investigation team to the island. Dozens of firefighters from Athens and the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki were sent by ship as reinforcements to the 100 already on the island. Ten water-dropping helicopters and two firefighting planes provided air support until nightfall. As daylight faded, local media footage and photos showed firefighters battling towering flames burning through woodland and farmland. Wildfires are frequent in Greece during its hot, dry summers, but authorities have said climate change has been fuelling bigger and more frequent blazes. In 2018, a massive fire swept through the seaside town of Mati, east of Athens, trapping people in their homes and on roads as they tried to flee. More than 100 people died, including some who drowned trying to swim away from the flames.

400 firefighters now working on southern Utah's Pine Valley fire
PINE VALLEY, Washington County — The battle against the fire on southern Utah's Pine Valley Mountains continues Sunday with 400 firefighters now at the scene. The federal Great Basin Complex Incident Management Team took over command of the blaze, dubbed the Forsyth Fire, on Sunday. The lightning-caused fire remains 0% contained and was last mapped Saturday at 1,640 acres. At last count, 14 homes and cabins and a few outbuildings were destroyed in the wildfire. Crews Saturday 'worked to extinguish hot spots in the valley bottom while continuing structure protection efforts. Over the coming days, operations staff will continue to identify safe and effective opportunities to engage the fire directly and seek containment. Firefighter and public safety are the top priority for this incident,' the team managing the fire said in a news release. Saturday evening, residents in Pinto and Grass Valley Road were urged to evacuate, Utah Fire Info said, after the fire Saturday afternoon 'pushed over a mile north and up over the next ridge, north of Pine Valley.' It was not immediately clear how many more residents are affected. The Pine Valley community evacuation included 450 homes. Fire officials said 'unseasonably dry fuels,' low humidity and strong winds continue to contribute to fire growth. 'Yesterday the fire crossed the main road in Pine Valley and made a run up the ridgetop to the north. (Sunday) will bring a slight relief from the winds the fire has experienced since Thursday. Winds will be out of the northwest in the morning and transition to a southwest wind in the afternoon. Spotting is expected to occur outside of the fire perimeter,' the team said. Gov. Spencer Cox is visiting Pine Valley and will hold a news conference at 2 p.m.

Roman house rock damage 'not vandalism', says council
Damaged stones that lead down to a historic Roman building were not vandalised, an authority has said. The rocks lie directly behind County Hall in Dorchester, Dorset, on a path leading down to the Roman Town House. One large boulder at the start of the path is badly damaged on its top and sides, with large fragments of loose rock, while at least four other stones also show signs of damage as the path descends, with sizeable chips missing. A Dorset Council spokesperson said it is believed the damage is all down to the weather and natural forces. According to County Hall, it has been caused by spalling - a natural freeze-expand process where moisture freezing inside cracks in rock expands causing large forces which split shards of stone, or spall, off the outer surface. The town house was first discovered in the 1930s, when the then Dorset County Council bought Colliton Park to build a new County Hall. The site was excavated and the remains of at least eight buildings dating back to the Roman period were identified. You can follow BBC Dorset on Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram.
