The mayor of Altofonte: “The situation is very serious, get out of the house” “The situation is very serious, all citizens living under the forest, including the Campo Vecchio area, Cozzo di Castro, Corso Piano Renda, must move away. Flames and incandescent ashes can cause fires even in the inhabited center. Stay away from their houses … go down to the village valley. Immediately. ” This is the desperate appeal launched on Facebook by the mayor of Altofonte, Angela De Luca.

The Territory Councilor: “Dramatic hours” “I want to recommend, in these dramatic hours, to the citizens of Altofonte that they listen to the indications of the men of the forestry corps and the firefighters working at this time. Some houses have been evacuated and all available men and all the media are committed to the fire front. We are doing everything possible and we hope even more ”. The Councilor for the Territory of the Sicilian Region, Totò Cordaro, writes on Facebook.
