Fire in Paphos apartment, four children brought to safety

Paphos fire fighters  called to attend to a fire at a second floor apartment of a block of flats on Athenon Avenue late on  Tuesday night, were able to quickly remove four children — the eldest 14 — who were in the apartment at the time. No one’s life was endangered.

The fire, that appeared to have been caused by a fault in an electric appliance, was contained to the living room, and extinguished in 30 minutes.
