Two firefighters died in the fire in Zefyri, according to ERT’s latest report. In an official statement dated November 14, Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Evangelos Tournas confirms that two Fire Service members died on duty and refers to a colleague who was taken to hospital.
The Fire Service’s official announcement at 14:25 Athens time said two firefighters were recovered unconscious from an abandoned building in the municipality of Fyli and collected by EKAB ambulances. That post describes the recovery and ambulance collection without stating a medical outcome.
ERT reports that the two firefighters were taken to Attikon Hospital, where they died, and that another firefighter was transported to the 251 Air Force General Hospital. Those details are attributed to ERT’s reporting; the ministerial statement does not specify ages or hospitals.
The new information changes the earlier account of one transported firefighter and the search for a second. The fire’s cause and the precise circumstances of the tragedy remain under investigation.
