Wildfires raging in Greece, which have left at least 79 dead, are the deadliest fire outbreaks this century in the world, second only to those which killed 173 in Australia in 2009. In February 2009 at least 173 people died in fires in Australia's outback notably in the southeastern state of Victoria, victim of a mixture of extreme temperatures and drought. Forest fires killed 77 people in August 2007 in Greece, ravaging 2,500 square kilometres (965 square miles) in the southern Peloponnese and the island of Evia, northeast of Athens.
