The Fire Service in Limassol was called almost simultaneously at noon for the extinguishing of a fire that broke out in a textile warehouse in the industrial area of Linopetra and another in an open space in the industrial area of Agios Silas.

Eight fire engines, including a hydraulic platform, were mobilized to put out the first fire, which spread outside the warehouse and next to LPG tanks.

According to the spokesman of the Fire Service, the fire is under control and adjacent premises have been protected.
