The fire service is responding to an ongoing blaze which started on Thursday afternoon at Larnaca marina.
Local authorities have arrived at the scene in large numbers, according to philenews, while the site has been evacuated.
Initial reports suggest that a fire, originating from one vessel, has rapidly spread to others, releasing thick black smoke that now blankets the city of Larnaca, causing disquiet among residents.
Specifically, the fire is raging on three private boats, two of which have been towed offshore to prevent the further expansion of the flames.
Emergency services are on high alert at the scene, with an ambulance stationed as a precautionary measure. The firefighting efforts also include the involvement of private vessels.
