Another Greek Isle Fire?

 Well....yes, and no.

A small fire broke out on the isle of Samos, near the vicinity of another refugee camp (Vathy).  It is dry this time of year and possibly unrelated to the refugee camp itself.  Or it might be locals trying create another wave of people leaving.  Or it might be residents of the camp hoping to create another exodus of refugees to Germany.

Location of Samos?  About 4 km off the coast of Turkey, maybe 80 km south of Izmir, Turkey.

This fire was put out rather quickly, and stayed around 200 to 300 meters away from the camp itself. Focus told a good bit of the story.

The worry about these fires being manufactured to create a route to Germany?  That's the harsh part of reality....no one has really moved over the past two-plus years, until this episode at Lesbo started up.
