Fire Prevention Measures Around Communities
March 20, 2026
The Ministry of Interior has taken measures to prevent wildfires following last year's devastating fire in the mountainous Limassol region. A budget of 2 million euros is being proposed for cleaning communities and creating firebreaks of 500 meters. At-risk communities will also be equipped with double cab fire trucks. The plan includes checks to ensure the cleaning is completed and upgrades to the safecy app for immediate notifications. The aim is to improve safety measures before the summer season.
