Caltagirone and the Calatino Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

Caltagirone was on Sicily's list of active fire fronts in July, at Piano Evoli. There is newer burnt ground here that no bulletin has commented on.

Short answer: Nothing at Caltagirone has been reported closed and nobody has been reported moved. The Sicilian civil protection department's monitoring update of 19 July named Piano Evoli, in the Catania province, among roughly thirty active fronts across the island that evening. The evacuations it recorded that day were elsewhere, at Enna and at Modica. Since then nothing published names Caltagirone, while satellites have recorded fresh burnt ground in the countryside north east of the town. The department has kept issuing its combined wildfire and heat wave notice daily, reaching number 164 on 5 August.
