More than 100 firefighters battled to bring two forest fires under control in Greece, fighting to keep the flames away from homes and a hotel complex, officials said. One fire burned fiercely near the Aghia Marina district of Africa, about 55 km southeast of Athens, fanned by storng winds, and hot tinderbox conditions.
