The intervention of the fire brigade to put out a large fire that broke out in the early afternoon inside a waste disposal company located in the industrial area of Crotone, in the Ponticelli area, ended around midnight yesterday. The plant, managed by the Ecologica Oggi company, deals with the separate collection and recovery of waste from different areas of Calabria, including the province of Crotone.
The fire brigade teams of the Crotone provincial command intervened in a particularly complex scenario, with high flames and thick smoke that invaded the warehouse. Given the extension of the structure and the type of material present, it was necessary to employ numerous men and vehicles to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further.
The demoulding and cooling operations, which continued for hours with a constant jet of water, allowed the internal temperature to be gradually brought back to safe levels. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
