Limassol Wildfire: Responses and Changes in Handling

Reports on the wildfire in mountainous Limassol refute claims of inadequate response. The reports detail actions taken from the outset, proving immediate mobilization.

Over 200 firefighters and forest firefighters were on the scene, disproving claims of delayed response. Aircraft were on patrol and addressed a parallel front in Paphos.

Satellite data was used to accurately map the fire's progression. The fire started in the Malia area shortly after 13:00, was recorded by phone at 13:28, and the first vehicles arrived in 12 minutes.

The President of the Republic (ΠτΔ) is promoting changes for a more effective state response through a special expert.
