Capraia building fire leads to evacuations and one injury
A fire broke out in a three-story building near the port area of Capraia, Italy. The blaze originated in a basement and spread throughout the entire structure.
Firefighters from the Livorno Command responded to the scene, with initial efforts led by local volunteers before being reinforced by a team arriving by sea via the STEM 12 naval unit. During the evacuation process, one individual suffered a shoulder injury from a fall and was airlifted to a hospital in Livorno by the Pegaso helicopter.
Several nearby residences were evacuated to ensure public safety during the operation.
