A prolonged series of woodland fires affected several points along the hill range of Valle di Suessola, in the province of Caserta, between Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon. The municipalities named in the report are Cervino, Arienzo and San Felice a Cancello.
At Forchia di Cervino, near the Prospi area and behind the parish church, flames approached isolated homes. Crews worked to protect the houses from advancing flames, dense smoke and high temperatures.
Another active fire front affected Sognorindico and Costa in northern Arienzo and reached toward Monte Felino, near the border between San Felice a Cancello and Roccarainola. Strong wind gusts contributed to the rapid spread and made the fires difficult to control.
Two national-fleet Canadair aircraft carried out repeated water drops in support of ground operations. Firefighters, regional and local civil-protection teams, and law-enforcement personnel worked on the ground, including creating firebreaks.
The available report describes an active emergency. It does not provide a verified total area burned, does not establish the causes of the fires, and does not give a confirmed final status for all fronts.
