A fire broke out in the late afternoon of Saturday, 28 June, at the Scapigliato landfill near Rosignano Marittimo, in the province of Livorno. The blaze, visible from a great distance, prompted the intervention of fire brigades from Cecina, Livorno, and Lucca, along with the support of the “Drago” helicopter. The situation was brought under control. The cause of the fire has not been determined yet. The Municipality of Rosignano has advised residents living within a five-kilometre radius of the landfill to keep their windows closed, stay indoors, and avoid traveling toward the affected area.
