Wildfires are raging in Athens. The last month has been stressful in Greece amid a new round of bailout negotiations, a referendum vote, and the imposition on capital controls. But Friday's fires were compounding the issues already facing a stressed Greek population. According to Greek newspaper Kathimerini, woodlands around the Greek capital were being engulfed by wildfires, and more than 80 firefighters and three aircraft were working to keep them under control. Kathimerini added that the fires could delay a reshuffle of Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras' cabinet, and the paper added that Tsipras told reporters, "We all need to stay calm." No injuries have been reported. The images out of Athens are stunning, and this fire is just about the last thing that Greece wants to be dealing with right now.SEE ALSO: Europe has a bigger problem to fix than Greece's debt See the rest of the story at Business Insider NOW WATCH: This animated map shows how religion spread across the world
