The Randello fire started again this morning, around midday, and has now lasted for almost three days. The flames are constantly fed by the strong wind that is blowing during these hours. It is estimated that the gusts, in these hours, are reaching around 80 km per hour.
CANADAIRS CANNOT INTERVENE DUE TO BAD WEATHER
Unfortunately, at the moment, Canadian air intervention is not possible due to the bad weather which is also raging in Lamezia, the place from which the air rescue services depart.
Although yesterday the fire seemed to have gone out in the evening, thanks also to the intervention of the two Canadairs in the afternoon, in the morning the outbreaks they came back to life in the heart of the reserve, pushing the flames towards the sea.
The firefighters and civil protection are on site.
UPDATE
From around 2.30pm two Canadianairs were in action on Randello and, fortunately, managed to take off from Lamezia. Currently, the two Canadairs are carrying out the first launches in the area affected by the fire, in the very center of the reserve.
