Greek island wildfire eases


A blaze broke out Sunday and forced the evacuation of two villages, but fire officials say no damage to homes or injuries have been reported.

A large forest fire in Greece that forced the evacuation of two villages overnight on the island of Evia was abating Monday but was not fully contained yet.

The fire service said four water-dropping planes and another four helicopters were participating in Monday's operations on Evia, just off central Greece. Hundreds of firefighters and soldiers were on the ground battling to stifle the fire.

 An investigation is conducted to detect the causes of the Mati fire.
