Firefighters Tackle Wildfire Burning For Two Days in Sicily

Residents were evacuated from their homes in Sicily, Italy, as firefighters tackled a forest fire in the Agrigento area on June 20 and into June 21.

This footage, posted by authorities, shows a firefighting aircraft dousing flames and firefighters on the ground working to control the fire.

Italy’s Directorate for Emergency Management said in a statement that strong winds pushed the fire up the slope of the Rupe Atenea mountain where houses were evacuated as a precaution. Credit: Vigili del Fuoco via Storyful
