Sezze and Monte Trevi Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

The fire on Monte Trevi above Sezze took nearly twenty four hours to beat and crews moved on to mop-up. Nothing at Sezze has been closed and nobody was moved out of their home.

Short answer: Sezze is a hill town inland from Latina, and the fire was on the mountain above it rather than in the town. La Cronaca reported on 6 August that it had taken almost twenty four hours to beat the fire that broke out on the evening of 4 August, and that crews had moved on to the mop-up phase. At the worst of it the flames came close to some houses, and firefighters worked to keep them off. No road closure and no evacuation has been reported at Sezze at any stage. The reason this page still warns you is the ground: the slopes cannot be reached by engines, so the fire was fought from the air and from the foot of the hill, and mop-up on that kind of terrain runs for days with heat still under the surface. Latina is where the flames were seen from, not where the fire was.
