The devastating fire sweeping across northeastern Attica is captured in a shocking way by NASA's FIRMS program. The fiery inferno spreads over a huge area, creating an almost unchanging body of fire.
The uncontrolled spread of the fires is compounded by strong winds reaching up to 8 Beaufort, making extinguishing them particularly difficult.
The length of the fire front reaches 30 kilometers, while in some places the flames reach a height of up to 25 meters.
The three main fire fronts are located in Penteli, Anatoli, and Grammatiko, painting a grim picture of destruction and turmoil.
