Firefighters faced immense obstacles. Narrow streets and steep inclines hampered access, while homes stacked closely together forced crews to extend hoses hundreds of meters uphill. Volunteers rushed to assist, evacuating children and the elderly while attempting to salvage belongings. Despite these challenges, coordinated efforts eventually brought the fire under control, preventing it from spreading to nearby neighborhoods.
Preliminary assessments indicate hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed, displacing families and leaving many without possessions. School supplies, personal documents, and household items were lost, with dozens of children directly affected. Beyond material loss, the
emotional impact — the disruption of safety, routine, and a sense of home — has been profound.
