again emergency fires in Sicily. This time a gigantic fire is devastating the surrounding hills to the town of Altofonte, in the Palermo area, the flames have reached near the town. The very serious situation, all the citizens living under the forest, including the Campo Vecchio area, Cozzo di Castro, Corso Piano Renda, must move. Incandescent flames and ashes can start fires even in inhabited centers. Everyone stay away from your houses … go down to town. Immediately: the appeal launched on Facebook by the mayor of Altofonte, Ángela De Luca, in whose hills the fire broke out on the afternoon of Saturday, August 29, with a front estimated at about two kilometers. There are at least five fires that triggered the fire, a circumstance that makes us think about the malicious hypothesis. Numerous teams of firefighters, forest police and civil protection volunteers are working on the site.

The position of regional councilor

I want to recommend, in these dramatic hours, to the citizens of Altofonte that they listen to the indications of the men of the Forest Corps and the Fire Brigade who work at this moment. 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. Let’s hope so: the Facebook post of the Councilor for the Territory of the Sicilian Region, Tot Cordaro. The comment on Twitter by Palermo journalist Ignazio Marchese is dramatic: criminals have attacked again. #Altofonte #Palermo the neighbors leave their houses.
