Both were controlled by the Forestry Department, Fire Service, and local community assistance. Investigations into the causes are ongoing.

Simultaneously, multiple vehicle fires were reported. On November 8, a car in Kato Paphos was destroyed due to a suspected mechanical or electrical fault. On November 9, a motorcycle was extensively damaged in Aglandjia, Nicosia, while another vehicle fire in Polemidia, Limassol, occurred due to an electromechanical fault as the driver attempted to park. Separately, in Paphos, two municipal construction sites on Kanari Street were targeted by suspected arsonists in the early hours of November 9. The acting mayor, Angelos Onisiforou, confirmed that police are reviewing security footage to identify those responsible for the destruction of public property.
