Strong fire brigades rushed to the scene, while explosions were constantly heard, as inside the store there were gas and propane cylinders.

18 firefighters rushed to the scene with 5 vehicles and a special ladder truck.

Because of the fire traffic was stopped in Acharnon in both streams, from the height of Agios Meletios to the height of Niobe towards the center.

Firefighters conducted a door-to-door check up to the 5th floor. One person suffered serious burns when the fire started.

One tenant was on the 4th floor and was brought down from his apartment by the stairwell, because there was a problem with the electric cables and they could not use the stairlift, while two others were freed by the firefighters.
