THOK fire was accidental

A FIRE that broke out in the new Cyprus Theatre Organisation’s (THOK) building site on Friday was because of work that was being done on the construction, police said yesterday.
Nicosia CID yesterday joined the Fire Services and Electromechanical Service to examine the reasons behind the blaze, which broke out on the construction’s third floor and took fire fighters over an hour to put out because of the scaffolding.
The outcome was that the fire was down to human error and hadn’t been set on purpose.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
