Rhodes wildfires: Chilling images from space show horrifying devastation of blaze

Wildfires on the Greek resort island of Rhodes forced more evacuations as strong winds and successive heat waves that left scrubland and forests tinder-dry fuelled three major fires raging elsewhere in Greece

Chilling satellite images show the horrifying devastation wreaked by wildfires on the Greek island of Rhodes.

Greece is using an EU satellite service to estimate the damage caused by the fire and to target resources.

Photographs published online by the service showed a brown hourglass-shaped burn scar across the middle of the island.

A week-old wildfire on the Greek resort island of Rhodes tore past defences Monday, forcing more evacuations as strong winds and successive heat waves that left scrubland and forests tinder-dry fueled three major fires raging elsewhere in Greece.
