A plane fighting wildfires in Greece crashed killing two airmen on Tuesday, as large areas of the Mediterranean sweltered under an intense summer heatwave and Algeria battled to control an inferno in which at least 34 people have died.
The plane, which had been dropping water, came down on a hillside close to the town of Karystos on the Greek island of Evia, east of Athens. The captain and co-pilot, aged 34 and 27, both died, the air force said., with authorities evacuating more than 20,000 people in recent days from homes and resorts in the south of the holiday island of Rhodes.

I called him, and he didn't want to leave. He told me 'if I leave there will be no hotel'.
