Adjust the position if needed, add a short description and a photo if you have one, then submit your report. Your report will appear on the map for other SafeIsland users in Cyprus to see. The map shows fire incidents reported by the community, alongside points of interest such as fire stations and Department of Forests locations. Built for Cyprus SafeIsland uses detailed map data covering all of Cyprus. Important — what SafeIsland is not SafeIsland is a community awareness tool, not an emergency service. It is not affiliated with the Cyprus Fire Service, the Department of Forests, or any government authority. Reports are submitted by members of the public and are not verified.
