The Latina shore at Prato di Coppola Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

A block of flats at the Lido di Latina is emptied and sealed by municipal order after the fire of 6 August, and the residents are still out.

Short answer: Think twice about this one short stretch, and only this one. The fire that ran through scrub and woodland off via Casilina Sud on the afternoon of 6 August reached a two storey block at number 742 and destroyed two flats, with two more beside them affected by heat and smoke. The mayor of Latina signed order 261 on 7 August declaring those flats uninhabitable and banning entry to the whole building until the repair work is finished, and the people who lived there have not been able to go back. No road on the coast has been reported shut, the beaches and the lido are working normally, and nobody has been asked to leave any other building. Nobody has yet said the fire is out, which is why this page still reads as a live incident rather than an aftermath.
