Georgian Woman Arrested for Starting 10,000-Acre Wildfire in Chios
Greek authorities have arrested a 30-year-old Georgian woman suspected of starting one of the wildfires on the island of Chios by discarding a lit cigarette. The fires, which began on Sunday, destroyed approximately 10,000 acres of bush and pasture land and caused significant disruptions including power outages and evacuations. The woman has been charged with unintentional arson, though investigations into other fires on the island continue. Despite the fires being largely contained by Wednesday, hundreds of firefighters remain deployed to prevent rekindling. Greece has increased firefighting resources to a record 18,000 personnel and has received international support, as climate change continues to intensify the frequency and severity of wildfires. The government has also allocated substantial funds for damages and upgrading firefighting equipment in response to the worsening fire season.
