Livestock moved after fire breaks out

A fire broke out in an area full of reeds in the Fasouri area in Limassol, forcing some farmers to move their livestock as a precaution.

The fire, which is inside the jurisdiction of the British bases, broke out at around 8pm, a fire service spokesman said.

Andreas Kettis said efforts were made to protect farms in the area.

Three engines, two from the bases and one from the republic’s fire service were dispatched.

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.
