Fire Service personnel rescued an elderly person from a flooded house in Nicosia today.
Asked whether the Fire Service had responded to incidents following the heavy rainfall and hailstorms that hit various areas on Saturday, Fire Service press office official Koulla Mesaritou said that by 12:30 pm, the service had received calls in the Nicosia district to pump water from flooded basements, clear rainwater drains, and move telecommunications cables brought down by high winds.
“We also had one case where we rescued an elderly person from a house that flooded,” she added.
Mesaritou also stated that the Fire Service assisted crews from the Nicosia District Governance Organisation (EOA) and the Strovolos and Lakatamia municipalities with clearing drains.
