A fire broke out inside the arcade housing the Broadway Theater in the Athens district of Kypseli in the early hours of Thursday. 

Emergency crews evacuated at least 10 residents from the apartments above the arcade. One woman was hospitalised due to respiratory issues.

Twenty firefighters, supported by five fire engines, battled the blaze, which took approximately six hours to extinguish. 

The theater is believed to have been completely destroyed by the fire.
