A fire broke out today (July 4, 2026) around 1 p.m. on a central reservation strip along Kifissos Avenue, opposite the former Renault dealership in Nea Filadelfeia — a northern Athens suburb.
The blaze ignited in low vegetation on the median, prompting significant traffic delays on the Kifissos, a major arterial road connecting Athens with its western and northern suburbs.
This incident follows another fire on the same type of infrastructure — a central reservation on Kifissos — approximately one week earlier.
