Forest fire spreads on Monte Cacamillo near Bolognola, Italy

A forest fire ignited on Monte Cacamillo near the town of Bolognola in Italy. Firefighters have been battling the blaze since it started on July 21, using ground crews, a Canadair water‑dropping aircraft from Rome, and an Elimarche helicopter. The fire is advancing on two fronts: one moving toward a rocky slope and the other toward grassy vegetation. Authorities suspect a lightning strike during a recent thunderstorm as the cause. The smoke remains visible from the opposite side of the mountain, and officials hope that rain later in the day may help contain the blaze.
