The fire that engulfed an area of the Persano military complex, in Serre, in the province of Salerno, is still being extinguished.
About 60.000 tons of eco-bales are burning in an area as large as a football field, generating a thick column of black smoke that hangs over the area. To deal with the emergency, large tankers have been requested from Caserta and Naples, but concern remains high.
The mayor of Eboli has invited citizens in the surrounding areas to keep their doors and windows closed due to air pollution.
The firefighters, supported by special vehicles, have been working tirelessly since yesterday afternoon to put out the fire.
