A fire that broke out in a first-floor apartment in the area of Zografou shortly after 8 on Wednesday morning resulted in one death, while two others were injured.

The Fire Brigade dispatched 15 firefighters and 5 vehicles to the scene and managed to rescue a 50 year-old man and 43-year-old woman, who were taken to the hospital for treatment over the burns they suffered. Unfortunately the Fire Brigade was unable to rescue a 67-year-old man.

An investigation has been launched into the cause of the fire.
