For three days, Saturday September 23, forest fires have been ravaging northern Sicily. Two people died. Others take the road to escape the flames. Reporting.
A house is surrounded by flames in Palermo (Italy). They come to seriously lick the hills, Saturday September 23. For three days, fires have spread to the north of Sicily, fanned by the winds. Last July, major forest fires had already ravaged the surroundings of Palermo. This time, Cefalù, further east, is also affected.
Residents flee
A 42-year-old woman died on the Italian island while trying to save her horses. A 68-year-old man also died. In Cefalù, 700 people were urgently evacuated from the city’s largest hotel. If they have since been able to return to their homes, others try to escape by road or train. Several Sicilian towns remain on fire alert. A prospect of rain should provide decisive assistance to firefighters.
