Città Sant'Angelo, Piano della Cona Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

Reports of a scrub fire at Piano della Cona, on the edge of Città Sant'Angelo, on 11 August, contained and put out the same day. Older burnt ground here is not covered by that account.

Short answer: Abruzzo Speciale reported on 11 August that two fires burned in the Pescara province that day, one at Piano della Cona in Città Sant'Angelo and the other in the Campotino and Congiunti areas of Collecorvino. Both were fires in dry brush and vegetation, both were pushed along by a strong wind, and both were reported circoscritte e spente, contained and put out. Crews came from the Pescara provincial fire command and the Montesilvano detachment with a helicopter, alongside civil protection volunteers from Collecorvino, Loreto Aprutino, Spoltore and Penne. The report says the flames were kept out of the built up areas, that no property was damaged and that nobody was hurt. No evacuation was reported and no road closure was reported. One outlet carries this. The burnt ground recorded here on 7 August is not what that report describes, and nothing published accounts for it.
