A Devastating Reminder
Wildfires are deadly, devastating forces of nature responsible for some of the biggest instances of natural destruction worldwide. In 2018, a wildfire in Mati, Greece, wreaked havoc on the local population. This fire was responsible for ending the lives of over 100 people, and an additional 250 people were injured while attempting to flee into the nearby sea. Private boat owners and local fishermen are credited with saving hundreds of lives, but they couldn’t save anyone. This photo of a soccer ball taken after the chaos is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of a wildfire.
