Fire in Arodes: house seriously damaged due to a faulty fireplace
A fire broke out in a residential house in the village of Arodes on the Akamas Peninsula in the evening, causing significant damage to the building. According to emergency services, the cause of the fire was a faulty chimney system of the fireplace.
The fire started after 9:00 p.m. in a two-storey stone house where a foreign couple was present at the time of the incident. The residents noticed the fire in time and managed to leave the house before the flames spread, so no one was injured.
Three fire crews from Polis Chrysochous arrived at the scene. Extinguishing the fire took about two hours. As a result of the fire, the upper floor of the building and its contents, as well as the wooden roof, were seriously damaged. The lower floor was affected by smoke.
The investigation showed that the fire originated due to a defect in the fireplace chimney. The circumstances of the incident are being clarified.
