Near Mount Kofano, as always in Sicily, dozens of vacationers are trying to get away from an area where a fire broke out this afternoon. At the moment, only one helicopter is operating at this point, dropping seawater.
The Italian Civil Protection Service today sent six Canadairs along with two helicopters to deal with this difficult situation at the request of the regional governor of Sicily, Renato Scifani.
