Recent fire incidents in Limassol and Paphos

On Saturday, April 4, a fire involving tires occurred in central Limassol, which police suspect was malicious and potentially related to upcoming Easter celebrations. In a separate incident in Paphos during the early hours of the same day, a fire damaged the facade and glass display of a café, prompting a police investigation. Furthermore, Limassol police headquarters reported that a 39-year-old detainee set fire to his cell mattress on Thursday. This fire forced the evacuation of the detention facility, resulting in the detainee sustaining severe burns and requiring hospitalization in Nicosia. Two other inmates and four police officers also received medical treatment for smoke inhalation. The detention center currently remains out of service while criminal and administrative investigations are underway. Authorities are examining security failures regarding how the detainee obtained the means to start the fire.
