Cyprus’ fire preparedness level has been raised to its highest possible point, forestry department director Charalambos Alexandrou told CNA, who said that on Saturday a very difficult and serious situation was addressed successfully in Kyperounta village.
Alexandrou stressed that the preparedness to deal with fires throughout Cyprus resembles that in case of a war, since the risk of fires is at the level of “red alert”.
As he mentioned, currently there are 15 guardhouses throughout Cyprus and 22 observation posts allowing the dispersal of forces throughout all areas controlled by the Republic of Cyprus.
