Moggio Udinese, Dogna and Monte Cozzarel Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

A newer fire on Monte Cozzarel, on the ground between Moggio Udinese and Dogna, was gaining strength on 13 August with a regional helicopter working it. It sits inside the regional emergency Friuli Venezia Giulia declared the next day.

Short answer: Prima Friuli reported on the night of 13 August that a new fire on Monte Cozzarel was showing signs of intensifying, on the ground between Moggio Udinese and Dogna, and that one regional service helicopter was working it. It listed the fire alongside the larger operation on Monte Amariana, which had the Canadair and three more helicopters, so this one was the second call on the same stretched fleet. Messaggero Veneto reported on 14 August that the president of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Massimiliano Fedriga, and the regional councillor Riccardo Riccardi had signed a regional emergency declaration for the wildfires at Palmanova, and named Monte Cozzarel at Chiusaforte among the fires it covers. The closure in this part of Carnia, on the Sasso Tagliato link, is further west between Tolmezzo and Amaro. Earlier in the week the Moggio Udinese forest station was working as a coordination point for operations in the district rather than as a place with a fire on it.
