Fire in Larnaca Apartment Building: Eight to Hospital, Including Two Children

A fire broke out in a room of an apartment on the second floor of an apartment building in Larnaca on Saturday morning. Three family members, including a young child, managed to escape the apartment before the fire spread. The apartment sustained extensive damage, while apartments on the upper floors were also affected by smoke and hot air. A total of eight people, including two young children, were taken to Larnaca Hospital with respiratory problems due to smoke inhalation. The fire appears to have been caused by an electrical problem in a light fixture, and the views of the Electromechanical Services are expected. The Larnaca Police are investigating the incident.
