General Hospital of Pyrgos

A 35-year-old firefighter is currently hospitalized in the orthopedic clinic of the General University Hospital of Patra, in Rio, Western Greece, after sustaining a severe injury to his left leg while fighting a wildfire in Ilia on Friday.

A 48-year-old man from Viotia, central Greece, who was vacationing in the western Peloponnese, passed away on Thursday afternoon after being admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the General Hospital of Pyrgos, according to state broadcaster ERT.

The man was hospitalized following a severe reaction to an insect bite, which medical experts believe was likely caused by a spider.
