The fire in Piazza Armerina which yesterday held the city of mosaics in check has been put out. The firefighters, the Forestry and Civil Protection worked for several hours to contain the flames, which originated in the Solazzo district but there was fear for the nearby homes, considering the progress of the fire, fueled by gusts of hot air.
“Everything was extinguished, fortunately it was not necessary to order the evacuation of the families” the councilor for cemetery services, Epifanio Di Salvo, tells ViviEnna, who, however, is very clear about the causes of the fire.
Councilor Di Salvo launches accusations
“There are no phenomena of self-combustion, these are clearly malicious fires, there is no point in going around it” the representative of the Piazza Armerina administration cuts short. It will be up to the police and carabinieri to identify the perpetrators of this fire, which has come, moreover, at a delicate moment, and not only for Piazza Armerina, one of the numerous Sicilian municipalities grappling with an unprecedented water crisis.
Water rationing
Yesterday, however, the water rationing ordered by Siciliacque was adopted due to the limited quantity of water present in the Ancipa Dam, which, due to an unprecedented drought, risks drying up. Therefore, considering that summer has begun, water reserves must be rationalized but it must also be said that the pipes are truly a sieve, as demonstrated by the recent blackouts in 11 municipalities in the Ennese area caused by broken pipes, which are now very old .
