Summer in Cyprus is traditionally accompanied by high temperature and dry winds, which creates ideal conditions for the occurrence of fires.

The Forestry Department recalled that a deliberate or unintentional arson is a criminal offense for which serious fines and imprisonment are provided.
The authorities strongly recommend that during walking in nature and picnics completely exclude any actions that can lead to fire: do not breed bonfires, do not use open fire, not throw out the unbridled cigarettes and not leave glass bottles that can work as a lens.
At the first signs of smoke or fire, it is necessary to immediately call emergency services: the department of forestry - 1407 or in the fire service - 112.
