Fires are raging in southern Italy
In the last five days, five people have lost their lives in fires in Lower Italy. The death of a 77-year-old farmer in the village of Groteria in Calabria was announced this afternoon. His farmhouse and stables were completely destroyed by the flames. He was trying to save his life, but was trapped.
The body of a 79-year-old farmer, whose disappearance was reported by his relatives in the early hours of today, was found charred in the village of Kardato.
A 30-year-old farmer also died in Paterno, just outside Catania, Sicily. He was helping to put out the fire, but the tractor he was riding in overturned and crushed him.
In Calabria, new fronts of fire were added to Mount Aspromonte, but also to the coast of the Ionian region, where about a hundred inhabitants were forced to flee their homes. Local authorities, in addition to the help of the Civil Protection Service and firefighters, are now calling for the mobilization of the army.
In Sicily, it was decided to evacuate neighborhoods located in the greater area of the city of Enna, while the Canaders are fighting against the fiery flame and in the Nebrodi mountains.
