Hardest hit by the fires were a dozen small villages around the town of Zaharo in the western peninsula, where at least 12 people, including some who may have been trying to flee by car, were killed. Scores of other residents, including elderly and disabled people, remained trapped in their homes, phoning in to local television and radio stations, crying for help.

　　Late Saturday, Mr Karamanlis, Prime Minister of Greece appeared on national television and declared that he was mobilizing all of the country's resources to control the fire. Mr Karamanlis also suggested that the recent fires might have been purposely set. “So many fires sparked simultaneously in so many regions is no coincidence，” he said, “We will get to the bottom of this and punish those responsible.”

　　The overstretched national fire services are being helped by an estimated 6,000 soldiers mobilized for the operation. A fleet of water－dumping aircraft was expected from France, Germany and Norway, after Greece appealed to the European Union for “urgent assistance”．
