Grease Fire at Limassol Restaurant Causes Extensive Chimney Damage
A fire at a restaurant in a five-storey building in Limassol on Thursday was caused by accumulated grease igniting inside the chimneys, according to the fire brigade. The blaze was quickly brought under control by four fire engines and a hydraulic telescopic platform responding at 9:27 a.m., with containment achieved by 11:30 a.m. The fire caused significant damage to the chimneys, rooftop equipment, and external installations, and also affected the building's paintwork and electrical systems in the dining area. An employee preparing for the day noticed the fire and evacuated safely. Across Cyprus, the fire brigade responded to 41 calls from Thursday into early Friday, including 19 fires, 19 special service incidents, and three false alarms.
