Blaze strikes Alassa area again
A fire was raging at the Alassa area just outside Limassol on Monday, with authorities fighting the flames at the scene.
The fire service said it responded to a fire at 3.07pm with three fire trucks and one portable firefighting unit from the Limassol station.
Five aircraft were deployed to assist from the forestry department with more trucks.
The fire is raging on wild shrub and heading north.
The development comes ten days after authorities managed to obliterate another fire in the same area, which required assistance from Jordan, Israel and Greece.
Dozens of people had to be evacuated from the surrounding villages earlier this month.
