The situation in the Akamas forest is dramatic.
In his statements to Sigmalive a while ago, the head of the Department of Forests, Charalambos Alexandrou, spoke of "hell"!
Asked how many outbreaks there are, he said it was unknown, referring to dozens of outbreaks that are currently raging. Mr. Alexandrou also expressed confidence that these were arsons.
According to the SIGMA correspondent in Paphos, Mario Ignatiou, the smoke from the fires is visible in the city. In his latest statements, Mr. Alexandrou told SIGMA that the "Ikaros" plan has been activated and five aerial means are assisting in the area. At the same time, he reiterated that we are not talking about a fire but about an organized arson plan in the state forest. At the same time, however, he expressed optimism that despite the size of the fiery hell, it would be possible to reduce it.
Indicative is the photo with the thick smoke covering the sky, hiding the sun:
Surely the uncontrollable fires that are raging in the Akama Forest have erupted from malicious energy, after all, is the mayor of Nea Chorio, Andreas Christodoulou, who also spoke to Sigmalive.
This is another day of successive fires in Paphos. It is worth noting that the fire that was raging in Lara was recently brought under control and at this time various fires are raging in the forest. The air force, which was operating earlier in Lara, is also rushing to the area.
