Two fires have been ongoing since this afternoon on Vesuvius and in the Salerno area.
The Civil Protection of the Campania Region is coordinating the activities to extinguish two large fires that are affecting Vesuvius, in the territory of Somma Vesuviana and a wooded area of the municipality of Pellezzano, in the province of Salerno.
In Somma Vesuviana, approximately 2 hectares of wooded area are currently affected. On site, the regional Dos (director of firefighting operations) has requested the regional operations room (Soru) to activate two helicopters from the Civil protection bell that are already on site and are facing the flames from above.
Two teams of regional volunteers are present on the ground. Other volunteers from the forest fire service of the Region and Sma Campania are instead engaged in Pellezzano where the fight is taking place with the help of a helicopter of the regional Civil Protection.
