According to the Fire Department, at around 12:30 PM, two fire engines responded to a fire in a first-floor kitchen of a two-story house. The fire caused extensive damage to the kitchen and its equipment, as well as to the paint of the entire building. Firefighters entered the building using breathing apparatus to extinguish the blaze.
The residents had exited the house before the Fire Service arrived. Two young children, due to smoke inhalation, were taken by ambulance as a precaution to the A&E Department of Nicosia Hospital.
