MORE THAN 30 fire-fighters, ten fire-engines and a team from the police rapid response unit MMAD were called out to tackle a massive chemical fire in a Linopetra industrial estate warehouse early yesterday.
Two fire engines initially responded to the callout to the former Lord Jeans building, which was being rented out as storage space to seven different firms, shortly after the blaze erupted at 4am.
However eight more units were eventually needed after flammable materials inside, including cigarettes, billboards, clothing and chemicals, caught fire and a series of mini explosions.
A thick black cloud of smoke and fumes erupted from the site and hung over parts of Limassol for hours.
