Flames devour the roof of a farmhouse
The flames were noticed by a boy who was passing through via Lumetti, in Chiari (in the countryside, near the border with Coccaglio). Part of the roof of a farmhouse caught fire and in a short time, the fire began to spread. The call to the Chiari fire brigade was immediate. A cloud of black smoke immediately rose to the sky and is visible from miles away.
Firefighters in action
On-site the Chiari volunteer firefighters with 3 vehicles. Firefighters are working hard, enveloped in smoke, to put out the flames. In the meantime, others arrived to support them and continued the shutdown with 8 active vehicles.
