A family was in danger of burning alive from the fire in the apartment of the apartment building in Rizoupoli.
At the same time, a total of five people were taken to hospital, including a 13-year-old child.
The fire broke out shortly after 15:00 noon on Saturday (20/04/2024) in the first floor apartment.
The flames and smoke engulfed the building, while the occupants of the other apartments were unable to get out into the street.
Thus, six people were trapped on the back balconies waiting for the fire brigade.
The intervention of the Fire Department was immediate and life-saving for the trapped people as they were transported by ladder trucks to a safe place.
They were immediately given oxygen by paramedics and five people, including a child, were taken to hospital as a precaution for smoke inhalation.
According to the Star and based on complaints from neighbors, the possibility that a tenant of the apartment building started the fire is being seriously considered.
The tenant in the previous days had threatened the other tenants that he would do so and is being sought by the Fire Department’s Investigation Department.
