The Forestry Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment announces that the fire, which broke out today, Thursday, July 13, 2023 at 11:30 a.m.a.m. in the location "Kylindros" of the Sinai Oros Community of Nicosia District was brought under full control at 12:00 noon, before spreading to the adjacent state forest "Adelphoi".
Full control of the fire was the result of the immediate intervention of the forest firefighting forces, which consisted of 25 Forestry Department personnel with five fire engines, four Fire Service personnel with two fire engines, and a private wheeled excavator. The Forestry Department's aviation resources, which were initially mobilized due to the danger of the fire, did not have to actively participate in extinguishing the fire.
Ground fire-fighting forces will remain in the area where the fire broke out for as long as necessary to prevent any reignitions.
The causes of the fire are being investigated.
