Firefighters in northern Italy responded to two separate emergencies on 27 June. In Tortona, crews rescued an elderly woman who fell in her apartment and later extinguished a brush fire along the Po river in Isola Sant’Antonio.
In the Savona province, the fire service contained a rekindled forest fire in Vado Ligure and rescued a person who had become stranded after climbing a guardrail at Capo Noli.
A night‑time blaze damaged the historic Lido Comunale complex in Reggio Calabria; authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
In Cannero Riviera on Lago Maggiore, a fire destroyed two historic buildings in the town centre, injuring a firefighter and leaving the structures unusable.
In San Benedetto del Tronto, firefighters secured a pedestrian‑zone building after discovering deteriorating concrete and a hazardous roof, preventing potential collapse. No injuries were reported.
