Venafro, Italy - August 12, 2024

Firefighters continue their relentless efforts to combat a raging forest fire in Venafro (Isernia), specifically in the upper mountain area known as Le Noci. The director of the national firefighting operations has overseen more than 50 drops of extinguishing agents on the flames. Ground teams have managed to contain the fire where possible, but it continues to burn uncontrollably in the higher reaches, accessible only by aerial means at this time.

The fire, which started recently, has posed significant challenges due to its location and the dry conditions prevalent in the region. Local authorities urge residents and visitors to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines as firefighting operations persist.
