Large fire in Slovenia and some active hotspots remain

(ANSA) - UDINE, 19 LUG - "Regarding the forest fire in Slovenia that broke out yesterday morning, my fellow mayor of Nova Gorica, Samo Turel, informs me that there are still some active hotspots on the northern side, towards the Vipava Valley, which are, however, under control." This update was provided a short while ago by the mayor of Gorizia, Rodolfo Ziberna. "The only risk," specified the mayor, who has been in constant contact with Slovenian authorities for the past 24 hours, "is that the wind might strengthen. Airplanes and helicopters, along with 450 firefighters, remain in action." (ANSA).
