More than 80 people lost their lives to wildfires this week in the Rafina-Pikermi municipality in Greece. The mayor of the municipality has admitted that mistakes were made in the response to the crisis. Vagelis Bourno told CNN that no evacuation order was given and that the scale of the fire was "underestimated." He said that human error was partly to blame for the deaths. He said, "We could have made better decisions for sure."
