A fire broke out this morning at the Vela Rossa in Scampia, in a third-floor apartment that had already received a notice to vacate from the municipality due to the risk of collapse. The flames broke out around 10:15 a.m., and only two dogs were in the apartment, as the three occupants were absent.
Rescue intervention
The firefighters intervened promptly with the available teams, supported by 118, social workers and the municipal police.
