Cyprus is making its fire fighting better. Last summer, a big fire in the mountains hurt many people. Some people sadly died. So, the government has new plans. These plans will help them get ready for fires. They will also help people talk to each other better.
The big fire showed problems. The government gave money to towns. This money will help clear plants near homes. This stops fires from reaching houses fast.
Towns near forests will get radios. These radios will help them talk to the Civil Defence. Last year, phones did not work well. The government also helps towns buy fire trucks. They will pay for most of the cost. Firefighters will get new suits.
A new app can send messages. People can be told to leave homes. This can save lives. Village leaders will get messages for emergencies. Training is happening now. It will end in April.
The government wants people to stop fires. Towns must clear land. Inspectors will check this. Everyone must help stop fires. Cyprus wants to keep people safe.
