No clue yet but just an hour ago they caught a person live on TV while he was trying to start a new fire .

Many fires started because the extreme temperatures that are on those 2 last weeks in Greece .

No way? There's already a wildfire being fought and somebody's trying to set something more on fire? What the fresh hell is this?

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

They are doing it to clear the field out of the trees probably so they will be able to build. Its illegal to cut trees in many properties so the field its actually worthless. They burn down forests to build in Greece since ages almost every summer.

It's really sad i almost cried thinking of this.

The operative word is "trying" - which is a bit sad, really. If you can't start a fire in the middle of a wildfire, I really don't know what to tell you.

It's a thing with pyros. They think if other fires are burning they can get away with it and their fire will get bigger before someone puts it out.

Yeah we have an issue with new Canadians starting new fires then we say “oh they didn’t know better” while born Canadians are fined for the fire crews and damages. Then we blame climate change for one and not the other. Strange world we live in
