A violent fire developed today in via Polveriera, in the Biscontte area in Messina. The flames, fed by the strong wind, quickly spread along the mountain side, creating an emergency situation that requested the immediate intervention of the firefighters. Three firefighters who are working intensely to contain the advance of the fire front intervened on the spot and secure the surrounding area.
The shutdown operations are particularly complex precisely because of the gusts of wind that are pushing the flames towards vegetation and neighboring houses. Particularly critical is the situation near a house that has been lapped by the fire.
