Aspropyrgos: Propane leak following tanker rollover

A propane leak occurred in Aspropyrgos, Attica, after a gas tanker overturned in a truck parking area on Ioanni Mylonas Street. The incident, reported around 18:15 on Wednesday, triggered a major emergency response involving 27 firefighters, 10 vehicles, and a specialized team from the 1st EMAK.

Firefighting crews utilized water spraying to cool the site and mitigate the risk of ignition while technicians worked to transfer the propane from the overturned vehicle to another tank. Authorities reported a strong odor of gas in the surrounding area during the operation.

As a safety precaution, the Greek Police implemented traffic diversions on Eleftheriou Venizelou and Ioanni Mylonas streets. The emergency procedure to remove the propane has since been completed.
