“The causes of the fire are not yet clear and we are carrying out all the necessary checks. The building is under seizure and is obviously not accessible.
At the moment there are about a hundred evacuees, fifteen injured, one dead. These numbers are still imprecise because at this moment the firefighters are combing the building to understand if there are other people".
Thus theCouncillor for Heritage and to the Housing Policies of Rome Capital Tobias Zevi in front of the building that caught fire in the late morning in the neighborhood of Aniene Hills, a Roma.
“Official numbers (but there are no doors to open): 1 dead, 15 hospitalized (2 serious), three buildings uninhabitable, numbers 73, 79, 81, maybe a fourth”. Thus on Facebook the president of the Municipio IV of Rome Massimiliano Umberti.
“Many citizens write to me for help. I will let you know (thanks for your big heart)”, he adds. On social media, under Umberti's posts, there are in fact many users who offer to provide support to the families involved: "How can we help?” writes one woman, while another says: “Is there a need to bring food, cooked meals?”
“Do you need food, blankets, clothes in addition to what will be provided by the Civil Protection which I know has already been activated?” asks another person. A man assures: “30 meals available for tomorrow night if needed.” A man wrote: “President, whatever you need, all you have to do is ask for the solidarity of the IV.”
“The Civil Protection of Rome Capital has identified at least two gyms where the evacuees will be housed for tonight and also for tomorrow night while waiting to find other solutions, such as hotels, from Monday because they are all full over the weekend”.
Thus, in a press point in front of the building in Colli Aniene, in Rome, where a large fire broke out in the early afternoon, the councillor for Heritage and Housing Policies Tobia Zevi.
