Torre del Greco – It was just after 11:00 PM when the Naples Provincial Command operations center received a report: a fire had broken out inside an old ruin on Via Mortelle, on the outskirts of Torre del Greco. Patrols from the local Carabinieri radio unit, along with the fire department, rushed to the scene.
A homeless man's shelter
According to initial reports, the building, abandoned for years and in a state of disrepair, had become a makeshift shelter for a 67-year-old homeless man. He was inside when the flames broke out and managed to escape without injury.
Flames tamed, no injuries
Firefighters worked to put out the blaze, which destroyed some furnishings and piles of garbage stacked in the building. The extinguishing operations were completed without requiring hospitalization. There were no injuries to nearby buildings either.
Mystery about the causes
Investigators are currently conducting investigations to determine the cause of the fire. Accidental causes (spark plug, cigarette butt, short circuit) and, although marginally, arson have not been ruled out. Carabinieri officers from the Torre del Greco branch have initiated investigations and interviewed the 67-year-old man, who remains available for further information.

I don't understand how these things could have happened: the building had been abandoned for years, and a 67-year-old man was inside, barely saving himself. The firefighters and the police responded immediately, but the cause remains a mystery; perhaps a spark plug, a short circuit, or arson, but further investigations will clarify the situation.
