A plane drops water as firefighters try to extinguish a burning forest in Dioni, Greece, 40 km east of Athens, on Aug. 24. As winds died down, the massive, four-day wildfire that threatened Athens' suburbs receded with no active fronts, allowing firefighters — Greeks joined by Austrians, Cypriots, Frenchmen, Italians and Turks — to claim victory Aug. 25.
