‘We didn’t see a fire brigade’ – Souni resident scathing of state response to fire

Chris Havariyoun, a resident of the village of Souni-Zanakia, one of the villages worst affected by the wildfire which tore through the Limassol district this week, was on Saturday scathing of the state’s response to it.

His house was one of the many houses in his village which was severely damaged by the fire, while his car was completely destroyed.

He told the Cyprus News Agency that he had noticed “smoke from afar” shortly after 5pm on Wednesday and had begun pouring smoke on a neighbouring field.
