Belvedere Marittimo and Diamante Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

Reports of a large fire on the hillside on the boundary between Diamante and Belvedere Marittimo on 29 July, with a regional assessor calling them difficult hours for Calabria. There is burnt ground here dated 4 August that nobody has explained.

Short answer: LaC News24 reported on 29 July that a large fire was burning on the hill ground where the territories of Diamante and Belvedere Marittimo meet, on the Tyrrhenian coast of the province of Cosenza. It named Calabria Verde, the regional forest fire service, the fire brigade, the police forces, civil protection and volunteers as working it. Francesco Bartalotta, the regional assessor, said the Tyrrhenian coast remained in the grip of fires and called them difficult hours for Calabria, thanking the responders. That report names no evacuation, no road closure and no beach closure. Only that one outlet carries the account used here, so it is written as reports rather than as settled fact. Separately, the burnt area recorded for this stretch of hillside is dated 4 August, six days after the reported fire, and no source found this run accounts for that date. Nothing published says the fire is out.
