A forest in Nitrify suburb of in Athens, Greece caught fire all of a sudden. The wildfire went on the rampage burning lots of homes and thousands of acres of forest to ashes. The fire is on the verge of spreading to thickly populated areas. The wind blowing continuously was the main reason for the rampant spreading of the fire.
