Hi Dellarovere,
It's so sad to see the few forests of Greece being systematically destroyed. Fires or arsons, the unlicensed construction plots, the church with its wonderful plots of forests that "gives" them away to small time crooks that surround her, " el cheapo" businessman in the islands, "wannabe yappies" that build in the coastline, untreated industrial wastes, sewage, and municipal wastewater being discharged in rivers and the sea and so on and so forth...
Makes me wonder: do we really deserve this beautiful country? This "misery of being Greek" hurts me deeply. Then again, these firemen did all they can. But we hardly need any "heroes" these days. We need less "neo-Greekies".

We had our share of forest fires, too. The recent ones are in Bodrum- Halicarnassos- and Alanya, yesterday.
The firemen and crew , together with the volunteers not only do their best to do their job but also risk their lives to save the forests and the wild life who homes these forests. Therefore, they really deserve to be thanked.
I am happy to hear that the fire in your country is also put out -hopefully-with minimum damage possible.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness too, Angelo.

I am truly saddened when I see the fires in Greece, the country I was born in and lived in for 15 years. It hurts me to see the country destroyed for money. In fact it leaves me in a state of rage for the brainless people who do anything for a dime or who do anything because they are incompetent of rational thought. What truly annoys me though is the fact that the people that risk and even give their lives to protect us and other "civilians" are not rewarded accordingly. This topic is about firefighters. I respect them, they are my heroes. I truly wish though that we lived in a society where they were not so urgently needed. Who knows? In a few years the way things are going there may be no need for them anymore. Sad but true.

certainty be stated many individuals are ignorant and communicate without thinking in this count. Teh President became suited in what he stated. notwithstanding, that's as much as our NYC council and that they'd desire to have stated this with the families. there is already a Muslim mosque in downtown. And why have a Mosque in the financial district of all places, a community middle, why not have it in brooklyn the place that's relatively necessary for individuals of low earnings. Come to my community church, we sponsor tutoring and basketball to maintain little ones off the line. U do not could be non secular or Christian. that's approximately assisting the ppl. My subject is that it somewhat is for assisting in straightforward terms Muslims the place any muslims do not stay and subsequently i've got faith there's a hidden time table at the back of this and it somewhat is going to be delivered to lite quickly adequate. me, liberal open minded Christian

It really made me sad to see what happened to your country. Also, from my side, I would like to thank all those people who put their lives at risk to save lives. It is the most heartful thing anybody can do! May Greece never experience again such a tragedy!

Yes, they did their best. I agree with Leonarda for politicians and all those who will run to take profit from what the fires leave behind. But we must thank from the bottom of our hearts those people who put their lifes in danger to save our few forests.

Yes, they deserve it. But let's think of all those drivers who despite the orders by traffic police did not allow the fire frigades vehicles to approch, just because they don't respect anything but their own confort.

Of course they need that from the citizens which they have helped (the Greek State is as ussual the very incarnation of ingratitude)
