Filenews 3 October 2020
A few hours after the fire broke out on the edge of the Tala-Emba communities and put homes at immediate risk, a new fire at 3pm caused fire fighters to mobilize again. This time the fire exploded for an unknown reason in a very small area between the communities of Tsadas-Koilis.
In the area they operate volatile means since the area is essentially inaccessible to the ground forces of the Fire Department and while in the meantime it burns trees, crops and wild vegetation. In relatively close proximity are cyta's antenna station, as well as some of the most remote houses between the communities.
In the photos published by eyenews and taken just now, it is clear that there is a danger to a natural beauty landscape.
We recall that earlier today, a battle with the flames to limit them to agricultural blocks and prevent their expansion into the houses that are a stone's throw away on the borders of the communities of Embas and Talas, were given for a long time by the fire forces of Paphos. The fire, which is estimated to be due this time to human irresponsibility and in particular to the attempt of some to burn, has caused damage to a house located in a rural area, while it has affected for some time the movement of vehicles on the road Talas-Embas-Paphos, since it occurred at a point literally next to the road.
The firefighting work was also co-operating with the Fire Brigade helicopters based at Paphos airport, since despite the small size of the fire front, its proximity to houses and the residential core of Tala was of great concern.
The fire was finally brought under control two hours later.
