If the huge fire that has developed on the Trieste Karst finally seems to be under control and dozens of firefighters and three helicopters are still operating, serious problems are reported a few kilometers further east, just across the border,
in Slovenia, where the fire front has moved
.
Yesterday hundreds of people were evacuated and spent the night away from home, many in a specially set up collection center.
Areas near Cerje and Trstelje are of particular concern as new outbreaks are reported.
11 helicopters are already at work on site.
The fire that broke out yesterday in Savogna, Friuli, is also under control in Italy, but
problems still occur in Val Resia
, where outbreaks persist and connections are still interrupted.
A Canadair and two helicopters will operate in the area today;
one of the latter will also make some water launches in Pulfero (Udine) to definitively extinguish the fire that broke out yesterday.
