When a building collapses, emergency services like firefighters are usually the first responders on the scene. Their immediate priorities are to rescue anyone trapped, provide first aid, and secure the area. They work alongside police to manage the incident, investigate the cause, and ensure public safety, as demonstrated by the rescue efforts in Athens.
