Horses were evacuated from stables that had caught alight from wildfires burning in Greece on Monday (July 17).
Video showed fierce fires burning buildings in the complex, as workers tried to move the livestock, including a horse and young foal.
The fire happened in Kalyvia, south of Athens.
The Greek meteorological service has warned of high danger of fire just as the country is recovering from the first major heatwave of the summer.
