The fire department has not settled on a single cause for the deadly fire that claimed the lives of a five-member family in Limassol on February 15, it said on Tuesday.

Fire department spokesman Andreas Kettis said the report had been prepared and would be sent to the police the latest by Wednesday.

He told the Cyprus News Agency that due to the extensive damage, all causes for the fire remain open.

Police investigations are ongoing, on the basis of an electromechanical service report handed in last Thursday.

When investigations are wrapped up, Limassol police will compile a report, which will include all other reports, witness testimonies and evidence collected, and the case file will be forwarded to the Law Office.

A family of five died in the fire that burned their home in Limassol on February 15.

Authorities were alerted of the blaze in Ayios Nikolas shortly after 4am, and by 4:08am, four fire trucks were at the scene. By then, the second-floor home was engulfed in flames.

The remains of all five family members – the father, aged 35, the mother, aged 32 and their children aged seven, three and two – were found after the fire had been put out.
