Extensive Damage from Fire in Larnaca Apartment Building – Eight with Respiratory Issues

A fire broke out in an apartment of a two-story apartment building in Larnaca, causing extensive damage to the apartment and the upper floors due to smoke and hot gas. Eight people, including two young children, were taken to the Emergency Department of Larnaca General Hospital with respiratory problems due to smoke inhalation. The fire was extinguished by the Fire Service using water hoses and breathing apparatus. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire was caused by an electrical fault in a light fixture, but the results of the Electromechanical Services investigation are pending. The Larnaca Police are also investigating.
