A man hoping to find work as a firefighter has appeared in court in Corfu after being caught starting fires to boost his job chances.
Published: 7:10PM BST 09 Aug 2010
The 38-year-old confessed to having started nine brush fires in the last fortnight after unsuccessfully lobbying local officials for a municipal firefighter's job.
He was released pending trial in February.
All the fires were put out before causing damage.
Scores of fires break out in Greece every summer, aided by high temperatures and strong winds.
The fires are frequently attributed to arson, but perpetrators are rarely caught.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
