Caserta – A fire emergency has been affecting the entire province of Caserta for over 24 hours. The flames are devouring hectares of vegetation from the hills around the capital to the coast, with dozens of active fires and Canadairs flying non-stop to try to contain the most dangerous fronts.
The most critical situation is recorded in the Tifatini Mountains, the mountain range that surrounds Caserta. Here, after the fires of the past few days along the panoramic road to Casertavecchia, new fires broke out yesterday, spreading rapidly due to the wind and high temperatures.
Flames threaten homes in San Prisco and Casagiove
The flames also reached the territories of the municipalities of Casagiove and San Prisco, threatening homes and making it necessary to mobilize ground teams and air vehicles of the Civil Protection and Fire Brigade.
Alarm also on the coast, where in the last few hours flames have appeared on Monte Petrino, near Mondragone. Just yesterday, always on the coastal side, the vast fire that devastated the pine forest of Baia Domizia: several hectares of forest have been destroyed, causing significant environmental damage and concern among residents and tourists.
Inland, a large fire hit a building material depot in San Cipriano d'Aversa, generating a thick column of black smoke visible for kilometers. Other fires, smaller in size but still worrying, were also reported in Maddaloni, Santa Maria Capua Vetere and other areas of the hinterland.
Authorities are constantly monitoring the situation, while the risk of new outbreaks remains very high due to the scorching heat and drought. In the meantime, fire-fighting operations by air are continuing, but the situation remains critical.
