Greek wildfires intensify as reports link power lines

Investigations show Greece’s aging, largely overhead power network and faulty lines are driving a large share of wildfires, with a June short circuit linked to a July blaze and roughly 75% of the year’s burned area attributed to grid faults, prompting calls for maintenance amid concerns about undergrounding costs. In North America, authorities and researchers are studying how wildfires threaten the grid and how infrastructure itself can ignite fires, with efforts like Idaho National Laboratory testing and DOE reviews to bolster wildfire resilience after major disasters.
