Delay in Hiring Firefighters Amid Fires in Limassol
August 4, 2025
The director of the Department of Forests requested the hiring of fire-fighters as early as January, but the Ministry of Finance significantly delayed this action. This delay contributed to an ineffective response to the recent devastating fires in Limassol. MP Christos Christofides revealed the situation, highlighting the inadequacy in central planning for fire prevention and response. The documents he presented confirm serious deficiencies in the firefighting service.
