closer. people are desperately trying to put out the fires in any way they can. thousands of people have been evacuated. this woman in athens told me she is worried for her family. a big national tragedy. do you live here? i don't live here. my sister lives here. it's horrible, for the whole of greece. this was the scene on the island of avia last night. ferries carried hundreds of people to safety after they fled to the beaches. safe on board, one man filmed the inferno on his phone. the fire burned through a vast area of pine forest, only the sea could stop it. tonight, evia is still burning and the flames are spreading towards one of the island's largest towns.
