Greek investigators suspect a faulty power cable as the cause of this year's worst wildfire, which killed one person, burned 10,000 hectares, and affected an area the size of Paris near Athens. The probe is ongoing, but sources close to the investigation point to the faulty cable as the main suspect. Wildfires are common in Greek summers, with climate change increasing their risk due to hotter weather and less rain.
