Thick plumes of smoke billowed into the air, becoming visible from various parts of the city and prompting concerned residents to contact the authorities around midday.

Limassol fire: Emergency Response and Firefighting Efforts
A total of five fire engines were dispatched to the scene, with off-duty personnel called back to assist in the operation. Kettis confirmed that the abandoned building housed a collection of vintage mechanical games, including pinball machines, which contributed to the fire’s intensity.
Safety Measures and Property Protection
Initial assessments indicated that the building was uninhabited, and fortunately, there have been no reports of anyone trapped inside. Despite the fire spreading throughout the entire structure, firefighting crews managed to focus on protecting nearby properties, ensuring that the incident did not escalate further.
Investigation Pending Once Fire is Extinguished
Once the site has cooled and the fire has been fully controlled, investigations into the cause of the blaze will commence. Authorities are keen to determine what led to this significant incident in the heart of Limassol.
