Limassol: Firefighter Testimony on Fires in Residential Areas

Efforts continue to restore the damage in the fire-stricken areas of mountainous Limassol. The cost of the fire is estimated between 70 and 100 million euros.

The Commissioner of Agricultural Payments, Andreas Kyprianou, stated that the first direct compensation for KOAG applicants will be paid by the end of next week. The approval of a 16 million euro plan is also expected to reactivate farmers and livestock breeders, with a subsidy rate of 80%.

The Deputy District Officer of Limassol, Ilektra Panagiotou, stated that compensation will be paid through the FIMAS system.

A firefighter, speaking to OMEGA Channel, reported that there are instructions not to intervene in residences due to lack of adequate training and insurance, resulting in property being destroyed.
