Presently, the central Mediterranean region is devoid of clouds due to a high-pressure system, leading to the formation of a heat dome in the area.

According to the Civil Protection Department, 10 fire-fighting vehicles and 20 fire-fighters were dispatched to the scene, utilizing 150,000 liters of water to successfully extinguish the blaze.
