  • [01] Chasing wasps leads to wildfire

    A Hellenic Air Force tribunal in Athens will try the 27-year-old man arrested for inadvertantly starting a wildfire in Dervenohoria, Viotia prefecture on Tuesday, the air force general staff announced on Thursday.

    The man, a petty officer stationed at a fuel depot, was arrested by the fire brigade after he admitted to accidentally starting the fire in an attempt to, of all things, smoke out wasps that had made a nest on the fuel pipe. He stands accused of arson through negligence.

    The man said that he set fire to some paper in order to drive the wasps away and accidentally started the fire. He then called the 199 emergency number and assisted in fire-fighting efforts.

    The fire quickly spread out of control and threatened to set fire to homes in the village of Panakton, as well as facilities belonging to the munitions manufacturer Pyrkal.
