Sarno. Helicopter operations resumed at dawn this morning to extinguish the fire that has been ravaging Mount Saretto in Sarno since early yesterday evening. Several dozen families who lived near the fire spent the night with relatives and at the Baccelli school. Sarno's mayor, Giuseppe Canfora, wrote two posts on his Facebook page overnight. In one, he wrote: "Thanks to the Carabinieri, the State Police, the Red Cross, the Fire Brigade, the Environmental Guards, the Forestry Guards, the Civil Protection, the Traffic Police, the Province, the municipal technicians, and the many volunteers. Thanks to the many mayors and administrators for their expressions of solidarity and help. And thanks to the media. The miracle is happening, despite the strong winds." And in the other, he recounts to his fellow citizens the dramatic hours that have passed and calls for the arrival of the army: "My Sarno, our Sarno, we no longer know how to defend you. The anger we now feel will become an even stronger reason to continue seeking every means, every avenue to protect you. Dear fellow citizens, I won't be able to tell you every moment of this terrible day now; fortunately, the media did, and I thank them for being by our side and for giving me the opportunity to loudly denounce this murder against our land. I saw the despair, the anger, the disbelief in your eyes. Let's not give up. I am at the City Hall, along with the councilors and aldermen, now we are waiting for the helicopters that will arrive around 5:00; they cannot operate in the dark. They will complete the firefighting operations initiated by the men and women who risked their lives this evening for us and for our community. We will try to minimize the inconvenience to the evacuated families. I have called out to the men of the Italian Army on our behalf. territory immediately”. (Sara Mareschi)
