Due to the heavy rains that have hit the northern area of Piedmont, firefighter teams are operating in the provinces of Verbano and Turin for landslides, mudslides and rescue of people in difficulty.
In Locana (TO) yesterday 37 people who were stuck in a restaurant due to a landslide were transferred to a safe area. In Mathi, also in the province of Turin, two families living in homes threatened by the flooding of the Stura di Lanzo river were evacuated as a precaution. It is worth noting the intervention of the Turin firefighters carried out last night between Montanaro and San Benigno Canavese to save two adults and a 3-month-old baby stuck in their car due to the rising water of the Orco torrent (photo intervention).
In Noasca (TO), experts in operating earthmoving vehicles are working to free the road leading to Ceresole Reale from landslides. In the upper Verbano area of Macugnaga, due to the flooding of the Anza stream in several places, teams worked to evacuate and bring several people to a safe area.
