From the article:

What caused the fires?

“Fifteen fires had started simultaneously on three different fronts in Athens,” said government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos.

Greece, he added, had requested drones from the US to “observe and detect any suspicious activity”.

Very, very tragic. One story said there was a group of 20 people who huddled together knowing they were about to die and in fact were consumed by the fire.

What kind of idiot dies in a fire just meters from the sea? When the choice is ‘burn or drown’ I would rather swim.

It's getting worse at 74 and rising in casualty numbers. This is a really bad one. They are saying 98% of Mati was burned.
