Firefighters were battling a blaze in an inaccessible area in Lagia in the Larnaca district on Sunday which burned around four hectares of dry grass and other vegetation in two hours.
Five trucks from the fire department and seven from the forestry department are involved in the effort to bring the fire under control but are being hampered by strong winds, the fire service said.
In addition, all four firefighting aircraft from the forestry department are assisting.
Four fir trucks have also been sent to Tseri in the Nicosia district where a fire has broken out on dry grass.
Efforts are being made to protect homes, the department said.
