“Unfortunately, new fronts have opened, probably malicious: who knows, speak”: this is the appeal that the mayor of Gorizia, Rodolfo Ziberna, made to the population. “I really hoped that the nightmare was over and there was no longer the need to update you – he continued – but most likely due to some criminal, which I hope we will be able to identify, the fire resumed causing new damage and the new evacuation of San Michele del Carso. Arson is assumed because the Devetachi fire started from the road and therefore it can be said almost with certainty that it was caused by a human hand “. It is angry just to think about it, but it is not enough. We must all now feel involved in this battle and I make my own the appeal launched yesterday by the Prefect: if anyone has seen or heard something, speak up, inform the police. Let’s put an end to this madness. I urge everyone to keep their guard up and whatever suspicious you see, call the right person right away. Please pay attention. “On the Slovenian front, as confirmed by the mayor of Nova Gorica, Klemen Miklavič, all the fires have been put out. The Strada del Vallone, state road 55, is still closed.
Two Canadair and three helicopters in action – Two Canadair National Fire Corps and three regional helicopters are operating in the area. In addition to the firefighters, it participates in the personal extinguishing operations of the Regional Forestry Corps, AIB (Forest Fire) volunteers of the Civil Protection; in addition, the police and personnel of the companies whose infrastructures are in the vicinity of the fire are present, as far as they are concerned.
Last night 25 families from San Michele del Carso, a hamlet of Savogna (Udine), were evacuated from their homes. The fire that broke out again yesterday in the course of the night and developed on Mount Brestovec, was rapidly reaching the houses, burning the woods. The fire was rekindled yesterday afternoon, then, thanks also to the intervention of two helicopters, it was brought under control. In the evening, however, powered by the wind, it increased in power becoming a threat to the inhabitants of San Michele and around 3 am the mayor ordered the evacuation. The 25 families were placed in the Savogna gym. As explained by the deputy governor of the Fvg with delegations to Civil Protection and Health, Riccardo Riccardi, these are the same structures set up last week on the occasion of a previous evacuation, and which have not been dismantled. Firefighters, men of the Forestry Corps and Civil Protection worked all night in an attempt to contain the advance of the fire. The arrival of two Canadair from Rome is expected on the spot.
