With the arrival of the first days of heat, The Calabria Region is facing several vegetation fires which have quickly spread throughout the territory. From the first light of dawn today, the firefighters carried out over 55 interventions mainly in the areas of the Upper Ionian and the Upper Tyrrhenian Cosentino.
An episode that aroused some concern occurred to Cassano Alla Ionio, where a fire of vegetation spread near an RSA structure. For safety reasons, 10 people were evacuated, and the flames have lapped a wooden canopy outside the building, causing slight damage. Fortunately, there was no damage to people.
In addition, numerous interventions were necessary along the A2 A2 of the Mediterranean motorway, in particular in the Tarsia area, for fires of shrubs and low Mediterranean scrub that have created some discomfort to the road network. To support the teams already on the field, the operating room of the Regional Directorate of the Fire Brigade Calabria has ordered the sending of a team from the Crotone command in the province of Cosenza, to support the teams of Castrovillari and Corigliano Rossano.
As regards the regional territory, they were carried out or are being completed: 24 vegetation fire interventions in the province of Cosenza, 12 interventions in the province of Catanzaro, 5 interventions in the province of Crotone, 4 interventions in the province of Vibo Valentia, 10 interventions in the province of Reggio Calabria. In addition to these, there are about 90 technical rescue interventions of various kinds, testifying to the commitment and promptness of the firefighters.
