PLOUTOCHORI, Greece (Reuters) - Greek firefighters on Wednesday beat back countrywide forest fires that have killed at least 63 people, but said they fear new flare-ups with a heatwave expected this weekend.
"The biggest fronts are either receeding or under partial control," fire brigade spokesman Nikos Diamandis told foreign journalists. "We are concerned because a new heatwave is coming, according to the weather service, peaking on Saturday and Sunday."
