The fire aboard the 'El. Venizelos' was still raging 30 hours after the outbreak. Firefighting efforts were now focused on reaching the fifth deck, where the fire started and still burned everything in its path. The goal was to cut a heavy iron door that will allow the forces to get in there. During the night several quantities of water and foam were removed through the holes that had been cut into the hull. The list of the ferry actually was six degrees.Smoke on most of the ship has been curtailed. The temperatures inside the ship remained high. 40 people with 15 vehicles and 20 EMAK men were involved in the extinguishing effort. Actually 19 trucks and vehicles have been removed to allow the forces a better access.
