A new collapse has struck Orta di Atella, requiring the prompt intervention of the Fire Department. The façade of the building, already reported for stability problems following a previous sinkhole, collapsed without causing any casualties, as the building had been evacuated beforehand.
The Fire Brigade of the Provincial Command of Caserta immediately went to the site together with the team of the Marcianise detachment and the USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) specialists. Their intervention was aimed at verifying that there were no people involved in the collapse and to remove part of the debris.
After carrying out the necessary checks, the Fire Brigade worked to secure the area to prevent further risks. The affected road in Orta di Atella had already suffered structural failure in the previous days, prompting local authorities to evacuate the building and carefully monitor the situation.
The collaboration between the operational teams and the urban search and rescue specialists ensured a coordinated and effective intervention, ensuring a rapid return to safety in the affected area.
It's a serious thing that happened in Orta di Atella, I hope no one was hurt. The firefighters were quick to intervene but it is not clear why the building was still there after the stability problems.
