In Greece’s third-greatest metropolis, firefighters battled to put properties and farmland while olive groves and pine forests burned.
A farmer carried a sheep to safety on his motorbike through smoke-stuffed roads. One other man fled with goats prior to advancing flames.
Residents evacuated with pets and livestock as firefighting airplane moved between blazes in Patras, Zakynthos and the western mainland.
Resources were stretched all around the scheme, with three deaths confirmed in Spain, Turkey and Albania, and hundreds spending the evening in emergency shelters.
