Fortunately, the work put in has borne fruit. I would therefore like to thank first of all the prefect of Naples, Michele of Bari, which with its offices expertly coordinated the various entities involved in the fire-fighting activities.
How fundamental was the role of the Campania Region and its civil protection unit, always ready to listen to our every request.
The work carried out by firefighters and law enforcement agencies, without exception, was extremely important. Together with our local police and municipal civil protection offices, they spared no effort in trying to put out the fires. fire, limit damage to the environment and prevent the flames from causing danger to people.
Last but not least, thanks must be given to the volunteers of the civil protection associations and to those who, with a great spirit of sacrifice and love for others, put themselves on the line in moments that were truly particularly difficult”.
