The immediate withdrawal of all the forces of the Fire Service as well as all those who are near the rural area of Paleochori, where the Antonov An-12 aircraft crashed last night, was requested by the headquarters of the Fire Service, as stated by the head of Civil Protection of the PE Stavros Kivrakis of Kavala.
As Mr. Kivrakis said, an order has been given for the immediate removal of all the forces guarding the area as the toxicity of the cargo carried by the aircraft is not known, while at the scene of the accident a team of pyrotechnicians is expected to check the dangerousness of the cargo and to decide the next steps.
The smell of burning fuel is very strong in the area, while the cloud of smoke is also thick, however, the fires are very small and there is no risk of rekindling as the fire department has created a protective grid to prevent any such risk.
Fire officials report that they are operating from a safe distance as scattered projectiles are also reported in the area.
Due to the atmospheric pressure, two firefighters who were near the accident site experienced breathing problems.
Also, those that are released are considered highly toxic and a 112 message is prepared, for closed windows, air conditioning and generally removal from the area
