The Forest Fire Fighting Campaign (AIB) starts today in conjunction with the period of maximum danger for the “forest fire risk”.
Monitoring
The monitoring, sighting and extinguishing of forest fires throughout the Capitoline territory sees the involvement of voluntary organisations, in agreement with Roma Capitale, coordinated by the Capitoline Civil Protection staff through the Operational Intervention Coordination Room (SCIO), at the headquarters of Porta Metronia.
The voluntary organizations guarantee coverage of the areas of the territory most at risk, in constant contact with the radio room and with the Capitoline operations room, responsible for managing all the activities carried out by the municipal structures in support of the firefighting operations.
Anyone who discovers a forest fire or the beginning of a fire, even in areas outside the forest, which constitutes a threat to the forest itself, is required to alert the competent authorities, so that the necessary extinguishing work can be organised.
