Among those who stood trial were senior Fire Service officers, some of whom remain on active duty and had also been involved in managing the recent wildfire in Porto Germeno. The defendants also included officials responsible for maintaining the electricity network, forestry officials and representatives of local government. Residents also criticized the fact that wildfire victims, primarily from the Ippokratios Politeia residential area, were not represented in the proceedings. The handling of the Parnitha fire also affected firefighting operations during the devastating wildfire in northern Evia that same week. A year later, 107 Fire Service officers and officials from other state agencies were asked to provide written explanations as suspects in connection with possible mistakes or omissions.
