MATI, Greece (AP) — The soot-smothered mermaid doll lying among the detritus of a fire-gutted home may have been in a child's hands just before the flames swept through the structure. The little canary's chirps were probably silenced just as the fire's chocking smoke engulfed its tiny cage. All that remains of a bicycle that was once a child's pride and joy is now a blackened hulk. And a singed soccer ball with a Chelsea logo emblazoned on it won't be used again for another kid's pick-up game. These are a few of the personal items left strewn among the burnt-out remains of hundreds of homes in this coastal resort community that was devastated by Monday's wildfire in Greece.
