A car in Ayia Napa was completely destroyed by a fire on Monday afternoon. The fire started just before 4:00 PM. The car could not be fixed after the fire. Officials now say a mechanical problem caused the damage. They are sure it was not set on fire on purpose.
The owner, a 40-year-old man, found his car on fire. It was parked in the apartment complex. Some neighbours helped to fight the fire. They used what they had to stop the flames. They stopped the fire from spreading to other cars. This showed good teamwork in the community.
Police and firefighters arrived quickly. Firefighters put out all the remaining fire. They also made the area safe. A detailed study was done to find the cause. Police, firefighters, and experts worked together. This helped them find out exactly why the fire happened.
The study showed a short circuit caused the fire. This happened in the car's starting system. The problem made the engine area very hot. This heat started a fire. The exact reason for the short circuit is still being studied. However, investigators found no proof of someone setting the fire. This explains why the car was destroyed.
The car is a total loss. It shows that mechanical problems can happen unexpectedly. No one was hurt in the fire. However, the owner is very upset and has lost money. The neighbours and emergency services responded fast. They prevented a worse situation. This shows the importance of being ready and helping each other.
