Moments of fear in Altofonte by a great fire driven by the wind. The flames spread until they reached a step away from the houses, so much so that some neighbors were forced to flee. The fires started simultaneously in at least five locations. About 2 kilometers in front of the fire.
To put out the flames, forestry, firefighters, civil defense and the police intervened under the coordination of the prefecture. But it is not the only fire that broke out in the province of Palermo. In fact, firefighters have also operated in the Carini, Termini Imerese and Madonie areas.
«The situation is very serious, all citizens who live under the forest, including the Campo Vecchio area, Cozzo di Castro, Corso Piano Renda, must go. Incandescent flames and ashes can also start fires in the inhabited center. Everyone stay away from your houses … go down to town. Immediately. “The appeal launched on Facebook by the mayor of Altofonte, Angela De Luca.
«I want to recommend, in these dramatic hours, to the citizens of Altofonte that they listen to the instructions of the men of the Forest Corps and the Fire Brigade who are working at this time. Some houses have been evacuated and all available men and all media are busy in front of the fire. We are doing our best and more. We hope well ”. The Councilor for the Territory of the Sicilian Region, Totò Cordaro, writes on Facebook.
