Since yesterday afternoon, 25 Messina firefighters intervened in the northern area, in Acqualadroni and Spartà, due to a large vegetation fire: three families were evacuated as a precaution, the teams, deployed to protect the homes threatened by the flames, slowed down the advance of the fire front. The intervention ended during the night with the clean-up operations.
Yesterday afternoon the Coc was also activated by the Municipality to coordinate the voluntary associations (five firefighting modules sent to the area) to take care of the assistance of the population in case of need. The flames, in fact, touched some summer houses. They were fueled by the strong wind which, fortunately, diminished in the evening.
