The Hellenic Fire Service deployed approximately 40 firefighters and 15 vehicles to the scene. Crews worked to control the blaze and stabilize parts of the structure that had been compromised by the fire. Thick smoke was visible across the surrounding area, and flames were reported along sections of the factory roof.

Emergency Response and Hospitalizations
Emergency responders transported several individuals to nearby medical facilities for evaluation and treatment. Greek authorities reported that seven people, including a firefighter, required hospital care following the incident. Medical officials have not released detailed information about the conditions of those hospitalized, but authorities have stated that the focus remains on ensuring proper medical support and recovery.

Firefighters continued operations for hours to ensure that the fire was fully extinguished and to assess structural damage. Industrial fires can pose additional risks due to machinery, stored materials, and potential structural instability, which often complicate rescue efforts.

Officials also implemented safety perimeters to prevent unauthorized access while investigations and recovery operations were underway.
