On July 22, at approximately 4:10 a.m., the Department of Fire Protection and Rescue was dispatched to Taikos street following reports of a structure fire. The incident occurred within a multi-apartment residential building. Upon arrival at the scene, responding firefighters observed a three-room apartment exhibiting signs of heavy smoldering.
Preliminary assessment by the responding personnel quickly identified the origin of the fire. Investigators determined that the blaze originated from an electric surfboard battery located within the kitchen area of the affected apartment. The department confirmed that, by the time the firefighters arrived on site, the active fire had already been extinguished.
The investigation focused on determining the sequence of events leading to the smoldering conditions within the residential unit. The incident highlights the potential hazards posed by electrical equipment within densely populated multi-apartment structures. Fire officials emphasized the importance of proper storage and use of portable electrical devices to prevent similar incidents.
The response from the firefighters was swift, though they arrived after the immediate danger from the initial fire source had passed. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the battery’s failure.
