Not knowing anything about the climate in Greece is this your fire season or just a bad drought?

We're saddened to hear of the death and destruction there, Dimitris.

The fires of Greece are in the headlines here in the U.S.

That's a sad thing Dimitris.

Not only do you folks have to deal with the dry and windy weather, but they suspect arson:
