The Fire Service was mobilised in Limassol following a fire that broke out in a pile of tyres within a school compound, causing thick black smoke to blanket the area north of Ekali.
Philenews arrived at the scene as dense black smoke had covered the surrounding area. A fire engine responded and firefighters managed to extinguish the fire in the burnt tyres.
The fire occurred at two points within the grounds of Ayia Fyla secondary school as well as outside the perimeter fence. According to reports, hooded youths with covered faces had earlier approached the eastern side of the school, threw tyres and set them alight. They also ignited smoke bombs and threw firecrackers.
A teacher rushed to extinguish another fire source on the lower side of the school grounds.
This is not the first time that minors have caused incidents at this particular school.
