A FIRE near the Limassol-Nicosia motorway close to the GSP stadium destroyed approximately 1,500 square metres of scrubland before being put out, the fire department said on Monday.
Three fire engines and seven firemen were immediately dispatched to the scene shortly after midday on Monday and were able to control the fire twenty minutes later.
Smoke from the fire prompted the dispatch of police officers to the scene, in order to address any traffic issues on the motorway. The causes of the fire are still being investigated.
