A new alarm was raised today (June 15, 2026) at the Fire Department, this time regarding a fire that broke out in a store in Menidi.
Just a few hours after the major fire at a mobile phone store in Omonia, a new fire broke out at an auto parts store on Ionias Street in Menidi, prompting an immediate response from the fire department.
At least 18 firefighters with 6 vehicles are on the scene, while traffic in the area has been halted for safety reasons.
Thick black smoke rose into the sky, indicating that the fire was burning intensely.
The cause of the fire remains unknown at this time, though initial reports suggest it likely started in a vehicle inside the facility.
Local residents are expressing serious concern, as flammable materials are burning at the site, and power lines have been severed, increasing the risk of electric shock.
