An alarm has been raised at the Fire Service after a call received for a fire which has broken out in a 4th floor apartment in the area of Faliro and Vyzantiou Street in Thessaloniki.
Fire brigade forces, consisting of eight firefighters and three vehicles, arrived at the scene and were unable to intervene as the fire had been extinguished by the neighbours, but in the subsequent investigation the charred body of a man was found.
The body belongs to a 68-year-old man
The charred body of a 68-year-old man was found a short time earlier in a 4th floor apartment in the Faliro area of Thessaloniki, after a fire broke out from an as yet unknown cause, according to GRTIMES.
According to unconfirmed information, before the fire broke out, the unfortunate man was in the apartment with his wife, who had to go out shopping at some point.
When she returned, she realized exactly what had happened and attempted to put out the fire herself with superhuman efforts. The 68-year-old, however, was found charred on the sofa of the house where the fire allegedly started.
It should be noted that the arrival of a coroner is expected at any moment, while the investigative department of the fire department is investigating the causes of the fire.
The deputy fire chief and deputy commander of the first fire station of Thessaloniki, George Kariotis, stressed that "14.37 our service was informed of a fire in a 4th floor apartment. Immediately mobilized 4 vehicles with 10 firefighters. Upon our arrival, the necessary actions were taken and a 68-year-old man was found charred in the apartment."
