Malia Fire: Cigarette Butt Identified as Cause by Experts

American experts have concluded that the deadly fire in Malia was caused by a cigarette butt, contrary to initial arson suspicions. The report details the fire's speed and terrain, but does not address community evacuations or the response to the fire.

It remains unknown why the experts didn't address the evacuation issue, or why Greek authorities failed to identify the cigarette butts on the roadside before concluding arson. The incident resulted in the death of two people. ΜΙΧ.
