An alarm was raised at the Fire Department following a fire that broke out in a parking lot in Nicosia, resulting in the complete destruction of a moped and a battery charger.

According to Fire Department Spokesperson Andreas Kettis, at around 11:07 a.m., a fire broke out in a moped and a battery charger in the parking lot of an apartment building.

As a result of the fire, the scooter and the battery were completely destroyed, while the smoke and heat damaged the paintwork of the entire stairwell, both inside and out. The paint in the parking area was also slightly affected.

To extinguish the fire, members of the Fire Department used breathing apparatus and water hoses, and subsequently proceeded to ventilate the premises as necessary.

A total of three fully staffed fire trucks responded to the scene.

As for the cause, the initial assessment is that the fire appears to have been caused by a battery pack falling from a height and spreading to the motorcycle.
