Firework licences revoked until further notice
All firework licences have been revoked and no new firework licences will be issued until further notice. The decision was made due to the recent hot and dry weather conditions. A large fire broke out in the Ha Potami area, near the village of Kouklia in the Paphos district, caused by the launching of fireworks. The fire burned between four and five hectares of grassland and wild vegetation.
