PENTELI, Athena, Yunani — A forest fire in Greece spread rapidly to the outskirts of Athens on Monday, driven by strong winds, burning trees and destroying homes and cars, forcing the evacuation of several hospitals and dozens of towns and villages, Greek authorities said. Since May, hundreds of forest fires have ravaged Greece. While summer fires are common in Greece, the extremely hot and dry weather caused by climate change has made them more frequent and intense. In addition, forest fires caused by extreme temperatures this month have also occurred in parts of Spain and the Balkans. More than 670 firefighters, assisted by volunteers, 183 fire engines, 32 water bombers and helicopters, are helping to extinguish the latest forest fire that broke out at 3 p.m. local time on Sunday near Varnavas, 35 kilometers north of the capital.
