A 28-year-old man has been arrested after his weekend brush-burning around a greenhouse ignited a destructive and deadly wildfire roughly 40 miles outside of Athens, Greece.
The fire, which started Sunday, burned a forested area and charred a house on the outskirts of Agioi Theodoroi, the Associated Press reported.
The victim is believed to have been an elderly woman who was reported missing earlier in the day. Two other people suffered burn-related injuries.
The man is accused of causing a fire through negligence while burning dried-out vegetation next to a greenhouse, the National Herald reported.
I don’t think that he thought about how messed up that really was and he probably still doesn’t. Forest fires kill people and injure people and I don’t get what made him want to do that or why he did that. It was messed up though, whether he meant to or not.
