A fire has broken out in the Zappulla neighborhood of Taormina, spreading from an area near a nursing home and moving along the first paramass wall gallery on Via Garipoli, a main access road from the A18 motorway to Taormina. The fire threatens several homes, and access to some streets in the area has been blocked starting at the Arco dei Cappuccini. Firefighters and local police are on site. Taormina's mayor, Cateno De Luca, described the situation as 'truly tragic,' noting that a fire helicopter has arrived and they are waiting for the Canadair aircraft. He suggested the fire appears to be of deliberate origin.
