A fire next to the Limassol casino was brought under control on Sunday by the fire service, as spokesman Andreas Kettis said firefighters are attempting to completely extinguish it.

In a post on X, Kettis said three fire trucks from Limassol fire stations, one from the British Bases and one from the forestry department responded to the fire.

“The fire burned a total area of two hectares of low vegetation and cypress trees,” he added.

At the same time, strong winds were blowing in the area.

The causes of the fire are being investigated in cooperation with the police.
