Fire Service Responds to Flooding and Rescues Due to Heavy Rain

The Fire Service responded to five calls regarding severe weather phenomena across Cyprus during the last 24 hours. In Limassol, it was necessary to pump water from basements and rescue a person from a vehicle stranded in a flooded road. Heavy rainfall and the overflow of a small stream caused flooding and water accumulation in the area of Ypsonas towards Agios Sylas. The Fire Service cooperated with the Municipality of Polemidia to open drains and address the floods. In total, the Fire Service responded to 26 calls, including 13 for fires, 11 for special services, and 2 false alarms.
