In the morning a large fire broke out in a warehouse in Aversa, causing concern among residents and requiring massive intervention by the Fire Brigade; the flames, which started around 10:00, quickly enveloped the entire structure, generating a dense column of black smoke visible from kilometers away. Local authorities, including the Fire Brigade and the Police, intervened promptly to put out the fire and manage the situation. Residents of the surrounding areas were invited to keep windows closed and stay at home to avoid smoke inhalation, which may contain harmful substances. Civil protection constantly monitored air quality to assess any risks to public health.
The damages recorded and the causes of the event
Despite the speed of the intervention, the fire caused extensive material damage. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but initial hypotheses suggest that it may have been triggered by a short circuit or a technical problem within the warehouse. The area was completely evacuated and cordoned off to allow emergency teams to work safely. The incident raised concerns among local residents, many of whom expressed fears for their own safety and that of their families: the high column of black smoke visible from afar also attracted the attention of the national media, which documented the evolving situation in real time. The mayor of Aversa issued a statement, assuring citizens that all necessary measures have been adopted to contain the fire and minimize damage.
