However, the situation has defused, as the authorities announced. The operations focused on forest fires in the Resia Valley and in Pulfero in the province of Udine. A fire in the karst area near the city of Gorizia (Gorizia) is also being fought.
The rapid intervention of the fire brigade limited the fire to a field of around two hectares in Campoformido near Udine and prevented the flames from spreading to a nearby wooded area. The cause of the fire has not yet been clarified.
Fires have been raging in Friuli for days, which have already destroyed more than 500 hectares of forest. In the past few days, parts of the A4 motorway had to be closed due to the flames. Regional rail traffic came to a partial standstill. In San Michele del Carso, north of Trieste, not far from the border with Slovenia, 400 people had to spend Friday night in a sports hall after a large fire broke out there. The fire was fanned by the wind and was still not under control as of Friday.
