Spinazzola and the Murgia Wildfire Risk: Should I Travel?

The Murgia around Minervino and Spinazzola had one of its worst runs of fire in July, ending in contrada Lama Cipolla on the Spinazzola side. There is newer burnt ground nobody has commented on.

Short answer: Nothing at Spinazzola has been reported closed and nobody has been reported moved. There are reports that a series of fires between 15 and 20 July burned a large area of pasture and woodland on the Murgia around Minervino Murge, the last of them in contrada Lama Cipolla on the Spinazzola side on the morning of 20 July. Firefighters worked it with staff from the regional agency ARIF, volunteers, the Minervino Murge comune and the local police, and a Canadair made about nineteen drops. The clean up was finished by the morning of 20 July. The forestry carabinieri of Altamura and Andria are investigating the origin of the fires under the Trani prosecutor. Satellites have since recorded fresh burnt ground on this country and nothing published names it.
