    What caused these fires? Are high winds keeping them alive?

    There are so many fires in a short amount of time. This cannot be accidental. There are really strong winds, preventing airplanes and helicopters from dropping water and causing more fire outbreaks.

    I've been reading about this terrible tragedy on the BBC news site. I was a student with a Greek guy ... He's probably okay, but I wonder. I think he might live near Athens now.

    Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis has stated; " So many fires breaking out simultaneously in so many parts of the country cannot be a coincidence. The state will do everything it can to find those responsible and punish them. "
