A state of emergency has been declared in Greece's central Evia, as over 250 firemen struggled to put under control a raging wildfire.
The wildfire has so far scorched forested areas and forced the evacuation of four villages.
Local authorities, however, stressed that the conditions are improving.
"It is a difficult fire, that's the reality ... there is no danger to human life and that is what is important," Kostas Bakoyannis, the regional governor for central Greece, told Skai TV.
