Bus fire incidents in Greece

Entities: General Hospital of Kavala · Kavala

Overview

In early July 2026, a bus caught fire at Heraklion Airport, destroying the vehicle and damaging a nearby structure. Later that month, a separate fire erupted in the rear of an urban bus parked at the entrance of the General Hospital in Kavala. The driver halted the bus, evacuated all passengers and fire crews quickly extinguished the blaze. No injuries were reported and the cause of both fires remains under investigation.

Both events highlight a series of bus fire incidents occurring in Greece within a short period, prompting safety reviews and investigations by local authorities.
