Fires in Cyprus: Aerial Assistance Needed in November
November 24, 2025
On Sunday, three fires broke out in different areas of Cyprus, requiring aerial assistance for extinguishing them. Notably, despite having allocated 14 firefighting aircraft during the summer, all had been released by mid-November. Only three Air Tractor 802 planes were available, with one out of service. Helicopters from the National Guard and Police were also requested for support. The increasing risk of fires highlights the need for a reevaluation of the country's fire protection protocols.
