There was a fire today which seems to have originated in the area below the Chinese development just off the main road going down to Emba. The fire spread, jumped across the main road and spread into the fields. Several fire engines, two fire helicopters and police cars attended. The main road was blocked off to traffic for around an hour and a half until the fire was brought under control.

A battle with the flames to limit them to agricultural blocks and prevent their expansion into the dwellings, on the borders of the communities of Embas and Talas, has been going on for an hour.
The fire, which is estimated to be due this time to human irresponsibility and in particular to the attempt of some to burn, has already caused damage to a house located in a rural area, while it also affected the movement of vehicles on the Road Talas-Embas-Paphos, since it occurred at a point literally next to the road.
The firefighting work has been in place for a few minutes and two of the Fire Brigade helicopters based at Paphos airport reacted to the incident, since despite the small size of the fire front, its proximity to houses and the residential core of Tala is a cause for concern. The fire is now under control and intensive efforts are being made to completely extinguish it.
