1 | Greece: Wildfires encroaching on Athens | Grèce: Mandondona an'i Athènes ny afo |
2 | Wildfires broke out on Friday night in Northeast Attica in Greece and rapidly consumed large tracts of forested land and properties. | Nisy doro tanety nitranga tany avaratra atsinanan'i Attica any Grèce ny zoma alina lasa teo, ary avy hatrany dia nandrava ala maro sy tanin'olona maro. |
3 | In just two days, they reached the northernmost suburbs of Athens, reawakening memories of destruction in the nightmarish forest fires of 2007. | Tao anatin'ny 2 andro monja dia nahazo ny faritra avaratra indrindra any Athènes ny afo, mampahatsiahy ny fahasimbana goavana nateraky ny doro tanety tamin'ny lohantaona 2007. |
4 | Greek blogger mindstripper posted the view from her balcony on Saturday evening on the scratch blog: | Naka sary teny an-davarangana ilay mpitoraka bilaogy grika mindstripper tamin'ny alin'ny asabotsy 22 aogositra ary navoakany tao amin'ny bilaoginy izany. |
5 | | ‘Ωρα Αθήνας 8μμ Κι εγώ θέλω να φύγω από το σπίτι μου. |
6 | Athens time 8pm. | Athènes amin'ny 8pm. |
7 | And I want to leave home. | Ary te hivoaka ny trano aho. |
8 | A day later, London-based photographer mlazopoulou posted a photo taken from an airplane: | Ny ampitso, mpaka sary antsoina hoe mlazopoulou no nandefa sary nalaina avy eny ambony fiaramanidina: |
9 | She commented, “Just can't describe this with words…” | Hoy izy, “Tys hitako izay teny hamaritana ny zavatra hitako…” |
10 | Live views of the fire | Afo mivantana |
11 | On Sunday night, a webcam in the forest of Schinias recorded snapshots of advancing fires until the camera temporarily went out of order (it is now working again). | Ny alahady alina dia nisy webcam napetraka tao amin'ny alan'i Shinias ary nahazoana sary teo afovoan'ny afo, mandrapijanon'ilay fakan-tsary mihetsika (efa miasa izy izao). |

13 | The New Athenian chronicled the events of early Sunday, when the fire reached the Pendeli suburb of Athens: | Ny New Athenian no mitantara ny zava-nitranga ny alahady maraina, raha nahazo an'i Pendeli ambanivohitry Athènes ny afo: |
14 | Many local residents had spent the night protecting their homes. | Olona maro no tsy natory fa niezaka niaro ny trano fonenany tamin'ny afo. |
15 | On Sunday morning they were still doing what they could to put out small fires near their homes, beating them with olive branches and shovels, or forming human chains to relay buckets of water filled using yard hoses. | Ny alahady maraina dia mbola nanao izay ho afany hamonoana ny afo manodidina ny tranony ny olona, tamin'ny alalan'ny fampiasana ratsan-kazo ôliva sy lapela, na ny fanaovana tohy vakana mitatitra rano amin'ny siny sy mampiasa tuyau fanondrahana zaridaina. |
16 | The air was thick with acrid smoke, and people were covering their faces with T-shirts, kerchiefs and towels to work. [..] | Maintin'ny setroka ny rivotra, saronana amin'ny akanjo ny tarehy, na amin'ny mosoara na amin'ny serveta mba hahafahana miasa. [..] |
17 | Many Pendeli residents were waiting until the last moment to evacuate their houses. | Niandry ny fotoana farany ireo mponina tao Pendeli vao niala ny trano fonenany. |
18 | The roads were still lined with parked vehicles in late morning. | Feno fiara mijanona eny an-dalana. maro no niandry teny anoloan'ny tranony, misaron-tava, ny alika mandehandeha eny akaiky eny. |
19 | Many people were waiting outside their homes, faces covered, their dogs beside them on leashes. | Mivoaka ny setroka mainty rehefa misy zavatra mipoaka. Angamba gazy na fiara nipoaka. |
20 | From the invisible depths of the smoke explosions were audible - natural gas tanks, perhaps, or cars exploding. | Ao amin'ny twitter dia nanome rohy manokana mankany amin'ny sarintany maneho ny doro tanety namboarina tao amin'ny Google Map (FIRMS) ireo mpikirakira internet mba hanarahana ny afo. |
21 | On Twitter, people referred to a Google Maps mashup, with data from the fire information agency FIRMS, to monitor the fires and quickly settled on a hashtag (#grfires) to aggregate tweets related to the fire. | Ny arofanina #grifes no ampiasaina satria io no mora ahazoana hafatra manoloana ity doro tanety ity ao amin'ny twitter. Mamaly ny vaovao alefan'ny fahitalavitra, na ny vaovao amin'ny internet, na ny fanakianana ny fanjakana ireny hafatra ireny, fa vitsy kosa no tena manome vaovao vao mafana mikasika ny afo. |
22 | Most messages repeated information broadcast on TV, as well as media and political criticism, with little actual firsthand reporting. | Ilay mpikirakira twitter @savvakos no mampita ny vaovao ara-potoana mikasika ny fozotry ny afo, ary ampiarahany amin'izany koa ny sary ao amin'ny Google Map: |
23 | Twitter user @savvakos provided some firsthand reports of advancing fire fronts, complete with Google Maps coordinates: | Ενεργό μέτωπο της φωτιάς στην Σταμάτα, λίγο πριν από την πλατεία #grfires http://bit.ly/t38Z5 http://twitpic.com/ezarv |
24 | Active fire front in Stamata, just beyond the square #grfires http://bit.ly/t38Z5 http://twitpic.com/ezarv | Ivon'ny doro tanety any Stamata, taorian'ny #grfires http://bit.ly/t38Z5 http://twitpic.com/ezarv |
25 | Also on Twitter, @kyanoun posted a real-time video with commentary using Qik from his car while he drove down a smoke-clouded Attica highway. | Ao amin'ny twitter ihany, @kyanoun no mamoaka sary mihetsika ara-potoana mampiasa ny using Qik avy anaty fiarany raha iny izy nidina ny lalana manivaka mankany Attica iny, lalana difotry ny afo. |
26 | Flickering lights in the dark | Afo manjelatra amin'ny maizina |
27 | Sunset is a dreaded time during times of fire, because aircraft are grounded and firefighting efforts are severely hampered. | Ny filentehan'ny masoandro no fotoana mampatahotra indrindra rehefa misy doro tanety tahaka izao, satria tsy maintsy mijanona ireo fiaramanidina ary efa mihareraka ireo mpamono afo. |
28 | Eric Parks described this dramatic moment on Twitter: | Milaza izany fotoana mangidy izany i Eric Parks ao amin'ny twitter: |
29 | @erictparks: Sunset & we're watching daring air crews make final drops in little light. | @erictparks: milentika ny masoandro dia indreo ny fiaramanidina mandefa ny rano farany ao amin'ny tahiriny amin'ny jiro mitsilopy. |
30 | Darkness reveals hundreds of points of fire on the mountains. | Indreo koa mazavan'ny afo ny faritra an-jatony eny an-tendrombohitra ao anaty alina. |
31 | Greek web designer Dimitrios Doukoglou posted this photo on Twitpic on August 23: | Grika mpanao sary Dimitrios Doukoglou no nandefa ity sary ity ao amin'ny Twitpic ny 23 aogositra: |
32 | The view from my roof, yesterday night. #grfires | Tazana avy eny an-tafontranoko, omaly alina #grfires |
33 | Several people posted mobile phone photos on Twitter using the Twitpic application, and a Greek software developer provided an auto-refreshing web service to aggregate them, using the #grfires hashtag. | Olona maro no mandefa sary nalaina tamin'ny finday ao amin'ny twitter mampiasa ny Twitpic, ary manampahaizana grika amin'ny web no mamoaka ireny sary ireny, mampiasa ny rohy#grfires. |
34 | Politics in times of fire | Politika sy ny afo |
35 | Teacher Dude, a citizen photo-journalist based in Thessaloniki focused on the political connection between wildfires and national elections: | Teacher Dude, mpanao gazety mpaka sary monina any Thessaloniki mitodika bebe kokoa amin'ny politika ka mampifandray ny fifidianana nasionaly amin'ny doro tanety: |
36 | Although Greece regularly has wildfires a study carried out by the Athens University of Economics suggested that there was a direct link between their destructiveness and national elections. | Na dia iharan'ny doro tanety matetika aza i Grèce dia nisy ny fanadihadihana nataon'ny toeram-pampianarana ekonomia any Athènes namoaka fa misy fifandraisany mivantana ny doro tanety sy ny fifidianana. |
37 | According to Spyros Skouras and Nikos Christodoulakis half of the forest lost through fires in the last 54 years took place in the 16 years in which elections were held. | Araka ny voalazan'i Spyros sy Niko Christodulakis dia ny an-tsasaky ny ala may tany Grèce tato aantin'ny 54 taona dia potika nandritra ny fifidianana in-16 tany an-toerana. |
38 | The last serious fires to hit the country in 2007 took place just weeks before parliamentary elections and most political analysts consider the announcement of new elections within the next few months a certainty. | Niseho herinandro vitsy monja talohan'ny fifidianana solombavambahoaka tany Grèce ilay doro tanety nahatsiravina niseho tamin'ny taona 2007 iny ary maro amin'ireo mpandinika politika no milaza fa ny fanomanana ny fifidianana atsy ho asty dia tsy azo ialana. |
39 | Teacher Dude reminisced on Twitter about an earlier firefighting effort in which he himself took part: | Teacher Dude no milaza ao amin'ny twitter ny fahatsiarovany ny ady tamin'ny afo nandraisany anjara: |
40 | I keep on remembering what happened here in Saloniki in 1997. | Mbola tadidiko foana ny zava-nitranga tany Salonique tamin'ny 1997. |
41 | I volunteered to help fight the fires. | Nilatsaka an-tsitrapo namono afo aho tamin'izay. |
42 | Scary how fast they can move. | Tena nampatahotra ny nahita ny fandroson'ny afo. |
43 | … and also commented wryly that: | … nanao fanamarihana somary nisangisangy koa izy: |
44 | The New Democracy [governing party] logo has new meaning now. http://tinyurl.com/m4mafa #grfires | Nahazo dikany vaovao ny sary famantarana vaovaon'ny antoko demokraty (antokon'ny fitondrana) ankehitriny. http://tinyurl.com/m4mafa #grfires |
