Fear in S. Stefano di Camastra. A fire front, fueled by the strong sirocco wind that has been blowing for hours, this time threatened the town. The flames, in fact, started from the side of the hill overlooking the municipality and then spread in several directions. There were several reports of citizens who feared for their homes and who poured into the streets.
On site, managing the emergency which is now under control, a team of firefighters arrived from Sant’Agata Militello, with the support of the local Civil Protection.
Just over a couple of months ago, it was August 29th, another fire had frightened the community.
Several dozen hectares in smoke, valuable crops completely incinerated. Then the area concerned was that of the Holy Bed, the districts close to the sanctuary. In that case, Canadian intervention was necessary to bring the situation back to normal. There is little doubt, this time too, about the malicious nature of the fire.
