A significant wildfire that broke out on Sunday afternoon in the Pyrga area near Larnaca has been brought under partial control. The fire, which started around 14:30, initially raised alarms due to its proximity to residential areas. Firefighting efforts were swiftly initiated by the Forestry Department and the Fire Service, who activated the Astrapi emergency plan in response to the escalating situation.
The blaze consumed approximately 10 hectares of land, including pine forest, wild vegetation, and reed beds. While officials reported that the fire has since been contained, there were concerns about its potential impact on nearby homes. Firefighters worked diligently to manage the flames and protect residential properties from encroachment. As of the latest updates, the fire's progress has been significantly checked, although efforts to ensure full containment are ongoing.
