A 65 year old man has been charged with arson and homicide in Greece while two youths are also being questioned.
Eleven countries are sending planes, helicopters and firefighters to southern Greece, where blazes have killed more than 50 people.
Many more are feared dead because some villages are sealed off by a wall of flames.
Most parts of the Peloponnese have been evacuated, and a 3 day period of mourning announced.
