"At the moment a resumption of the fire front is underway in the Pineto Park, in the valley below the elderly facility in via Ventura, but the situation is under control and fire extinguishing activities are underway from above and below. the nature of the fire is yet to be ascertained. But the fact that multiple triggers have been found prevents us from excluding the malicious act. If so it would be a very serious fact, a criminal act for Rome and the Romans that would require the utmost severity " .
The mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri said this about the fire that broke out yesterday in the Pineto, referring to the Chamber during the session of the Capitoline Assembly.
"We are working not only to help those affected but also to support the personnel employed in the firefighting operations, as well as to strengthen and enhance the firefighting plans," he added.
"I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Fire Brigade and Civil Protection for their work in the service of the city, which has been hit by fires that are affecting large urban areas. From June 15 to today, 173 fires have occurred", underlined the mayor.
