A fire broke out in the early hours of the morning at a house in Chloraka when a dishwasher caught fire.

It was around 3:39 a.m. on Tuesday when the Fire Department received a call about a fire in a dishwasher inside the kitchen of a home in Chloraka, in the Paphos district.

The Paphos Fire Station responded to the scene with two fire trucks, and the fire was brought under control at 4:08 a.m.

The washing machine sustained extensive damage from the fire and heat, and some of the other kitchen equipment was also affected.

The fire appears to have been caused by an electrical problem with the dishwasher.
