From Wildfires to Snow: Multi-Purpose Vehicles Keeping Mountain Communities Connected

The Forestry Department is on high alert following heavy snowfall in Troodos, working to ensure safe access to mountain communities. Multi-purpose vehicles are being utilized, which are used for firefighting during the summer and converted into snowplows in the winter. Snow removal operations are underway on main and secondary roads, aiming to prevent the isolation of residents and allow visitors to safely enjoy the snowy landscape. The Forestry Department is collaborating with other authorities and urges the public to exercise caution and avoid nature trails due to icy conditions.
