Giugliano, third fire in a month in Taverna del Re: fire extinguished among the eco-bales

The flames broke out about a hundred meters from the site where a similar incident occurred just a week ago, confirming the series of fires that have affected the area bordering Villa Literno since September.

The alarm was raised in the late afternoon, reported by pilots at the FlyLiternum airfield in the Caserta area, who spotted a column of black smoke rising from the storage area. Carabinieri officers from the Giugliano branch responded to the scene, while firefighters reported having quickly brought the blaze under control.

Saturday's fire is the third in less than a month in Taverna del Re, following the blazes of September 6th and 21st, which had already raised concerns about dioxin emissions and the environmental impact of the so-called "Land of Fires." Authorities are continuing investigations to determine the causes of the new outbreak and monitor air quality in the affected area.
