The province of Palermo and the Sicilian capital burned down.
On a 'black stamp' day for the Sicilian capital due to fires in the late afternoon, the emergency fires in the Bellolampo landfill also triggered.
A 'blaze' in the sixth tank that alarmed the rescue system, but which after a few, according to the Rap technicians who manage it, is overcome.
"Thanks to the intervention of the firefighters and the Canadair - say the company - the situation is under control. The fires have not affected the operation of the plant and also the Tmb".
It is the second major alarm of the day in Palermo.
The flames had broken out in areas close to homes in the popular district of Borgo Nuovo, north of the city.
Some residents had fled their homes as a precaution.
Among them also the minor nuns of San Francesco who have a seat in via Bronte.
The firefighters have intervened and are also working from above to shut down the helicopters.
On social media, the images and photos of the flames rising high near the buildings and the considerable cloud of smoke that has enveloped the houses in the area have become viral.
Many people have secured the cars by moving them quickly and in the videos you can see the 'column' of cars moving quickly while firefighters, police and carabinieri block access to the road affected by the fire.
It was the inhabitants of the ward who raised the alarm by signaling that "the situation is dramatic" and asking "to intervene soon: we know that there are other dangerous situations today, but here it is really a tragedy. We have seen many leave their homes: fairies soon".
There are several fires that have broken out in towns in the province fueled by the sirocco wind with a very long '' bulletin '' of interventions for firefighters and forestry workers to deal with dozens of fires.
The Canadair together with the firefighting teams are interventions in Bolognetta, Montemaggiore Belsito in the San Giovanni district, in Portella della Ginestra in Piana degli Albanesi.
Fires also in Piano dell'Occhio and Valle Presti Monreale, in Monte San Calogero in Caccamo, Belmonte Mezzagno and Calcerame in Montelepre.
A LPG tank caught fire in Misilmeri.
Other fires were recorded on the Palermo-Sciacca, in the area of San Giuseppe Jato, and along the Palermo-Catania motorway, near Villabate, where the scrub along the motorway burned down.
For an hour the
highway remained closed.
