Miglionico Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

Reports that the farmland and scrub around Miglionico were among the worst hit in the Matera area this summer, with cultivated ground and old olive trees lost. One outlet carries it and nobody has published a stage for the fire.

Short answer: Matera News reported on 9 August that the countryside around Miglionico, in the province of Matera, was among the areas worst hit by this summer's fires, with flames running through open rural land and Mediterranean scrub and destroying cultivated ground and centuries-old olive trees. It said the fire service, the civil protection and volunteers worked the fires with support from the air. That report names no road, no farm and no property, and it does not say whether the fires there are out. No evacuation was reported and no road closure was reported. One outlet carries the whole of this, so it is written here as reports rather than as settled fact. No fire service and no regional authority has published a stage word for the fire, and there is confirmed burnt ground on this land dated 7 August.
