Fire Department Responds to 34 Incidents in 24 Hours, Including Vehicle and Bin Fires

The Fire Department responded to a total of 34 incidents in the last 24 hours, including 11 fires and 23 special services. In Famagusta, a fire was extinguished in two motorcycles that were burned in the Deryneia square, while in Paralimni a 1100-liter bin was extinguished. Both incidents appear to have been caused by deliberate arson by young people. In Nicosia, a fire in a private vehicle parked in Strovolos was extinguished before the Fire Department arrived, using a fire extinguisher. The Fire Department completed the extinguishing and ventilation, while the cause of the fire will be investigated.
