They have been really amazing. Not only they were very brave in fighting the fires but also they have developed advanced methods for fires extinguish.
Isn't this time we thank them and try to learn from them?

They are many cypriot volunteers waiting to come but they didn’t take them to Greece because from what I understand, most of them want to participate because they were driven out of passion and they are not properly trained to join the resque teams.

I am not Cypriot, I am Greek. Therefore whatever I may say about Cypriots' feelings and beliefs cannot be but a partial view of a distant observer. I have known Greek-Cypriots who still believe in the unification with the "motherland" and I guess there are also Turkish-Cypriots who wish the same thing for Turkey. On the other hand there are bound to be Cypriots feeling distant and disappointed from their "motherlands" and strive for a unique Cypriot identity. But my feeling is that regardless of the possibility of these ideas fading away in favor of a politically - not just economically - independent Cyprus, the cultural and historical connections are too strong to be ignored. OK, Cyprus has never been part of the modern Greek State, but this doesn't lessen the fact that the two peoples have common origins, therefore it's natural to identify with each other's goals and problems - and the same goes for Turkish-Cypriots and Turks. The only way for Cypriots to develop a unique, differentiated identity - in my view - would be the island's reunification.

Ha ha i was watching Cypriot firemen in the news and i was laughing. They are SO clever, and so open minded. i was proud watching a grandpa extinguishing the fire all alone with their methods! I also heard that a cypriot business man sent 5000 oxygen masks! Thats a huge example of how much excessive we are :P
Thank you brothers! We fcking love you!

Hmm. I know you are talking about Greek Cypriot firemen, but still I felt proud. Perhaps they learned a few things from the recent forest fires on Troodos mountains (I wish there were no fires and they didn't learn anything).
Anyway, how is the situation now? Have they managed to control the fires yet?
edit: areti, my deepest sympathies to you, your family and your people. May God help you recover soon.

I thank them too.
I'm Dellarovere's secretary and on holidays at Styra, at my husbands house.
Me and my husband were saved just because we made our way out through the flames. Part of our house there is burnt, a dog of ours too, and all our property.
I wish nobody experiences what I have.

The ones whom risk their lives to save others, we can never find the correct words to praise them enough.
