Sarno – “The fire that hit the Municipality of this morning Sarno it appears to be of a malicious nature and the police forces are currently investigating this hypothesis".

This was stated by the mayor of Sarno, Francesco Squillante, commenting on what happened this morning at the Palazzo di Città when a fire broke out in some rooms on the first floor, causing the temporary closure of the town hall.

“An attack on the Town Hall – he adds – is not only an attack on an institutional building, but it is an attack on the entire Sarnese community, on the heart of our city”. “The rooms located on the first floor of Palazzo San Francesco, which were directly affected by the fire, were found to be seriously contaminated by soot and smoke residues. The necessary procedures for the remediation interventions have been activated, with the aim of restoring the safety and usability of the spaces involved.

The experts in charge are working hard to ensure that all the damaged areas are adequately sanitized,” continues the mayor. The firefighters put out the flames before they could spread further and cause more serious damage. The offices are scheduled to reopen regularly on Monday “to ensure the continuity of services to citizens,” Squillante emphasizes.
