A fire broke out in an apartment on the top floor of an apartment building in the center of Chalkida and the men of the Chalkida fire service pulled out an unconscious woman who was in danger of losing her life.

At the same time, an operation was organized to evacuate other residents of the apartment building due to the risk of the fire spreading to the rest of the building.

The fire broke out from an unknown cause at around 3pm on Friday on the top floor of the apartment building located at the beginning of Kotsou Street near the old bridge of Chalkida (above the Koukura agency and across from the Chalkida port authority).

There was panic.

Traffic stopped on one of the city’s most central streets and firefighters saved the life of the woman who had fallen unconscious from the fumes.

The mobilization was very large and immediate.

The remaining tenants were removed from the building and a fire was extinguished, which is still ongoing.

However, apparently the worst was avoided as this fire could have turned into a great tragedy if there had not been such immediate and effective mobilization by the fire department.
