Moments of refueling firefighting helicopters with water. Greek widlfire rages near Athens

A wildfire fuelled by strong winds raged on a mountainous area near homes on the outskirts of the Greek capital on Tuesday, prompting authorities to order the evacuation of at least two areas.
Heavy clouds of dark smoke were seen rising into the sky over the area of Penteli where the fire broke out, some 27 km (16 miles) away from central Athens.
About 78 firefighters assisted by 22 engines and 16 aircraft were trying to tame the blaze which was burning on two fronts.
