A fire broke out in the Mezzocammino area, a neighborhood south of Rome. The flames erupted in a garage at Largo Jacovitti, near Viale Gianluigi Bonelli. The fire appears to have involved a box in which various waste materials, including residual materials, paints, and plastics, were thrown. The Fire Brigade, the Local Police of the IX Eur Group, and the State Police intervened on the spot. The fire, initially considered less severe, required the use of special vehicles such as the foam wagon and additional resources from the Fire Brigade. Following the fire, part of the ceiling of the garage/warehouse collapsed. Approximately 40 family units were evacuated as a precaution due to the dense smoke. During the extinguishing operations, there were explosions due to the overheating of some gas cylinders abandoned in the premises. The total number of people evacuated amounts to 120.

Currently, there are no reports of injuries. On the spot are 118 and the law enforcement and police of Rome capital'.This article is automatically translated
