The rescue device of the Rovigo fire brigade command has been reinforced with the arrival of teams from nearby commands, while the rescue operations are coordinated from the ‘crisis room’ by the commander of the Rovigo fire brigade, Claudio Fortucci, in contact with the Prefecture and Civil Protection.
Over 220 requests for help reached 112 at the operations center of the provincial Carabinieri command of Rovigo due to the bad weather that hit this morning in the areas north of the province, in the middle and upper Polesine. Dozens of interventions were made by mobile patrols and police stations scattered throughout the area. The carabinieri were busy in the city of Rovigo, to free a woman who was trapped in her car in an underpass submerged in over a meter of water. On the Transpolesana a motorist went off the road due to aquaplaning without consequences. The military intervened to make several roads safe, where dangerous collapses of the asphalt were recorded or where vehicles were dangerously stuck and supported the fire brigade and civil protection personnel who were busy emptying entire areas of water, including such as the basement of the State Archives and the bus depot in front of the train station. In Adria, the carabinieri and civil protection intervened to make three houses and a flooded pharmacy safe.
