What is still disrupted in Val Tramontina and Monte Naiarda
Checked against Regional civil protection bulletin of 15 August 2026, reported by Nordest24 on 2026-08-16. Conditions change daily during and after a fire, and the source below is the authority.
- Check locally: The Monte Naiarda fire above Tramonti di Sotto regained intensity on the afternoon of 15 August. Ha ripreso intensita means it picked up again, and the bulletin says that happened after a phase in which the fire had been held. The Pordenone forestry station was sent to monitor it and an evening reconnaissance flight was arranged. At the head of the same valley the Canal di Cuna at Tramonti di Mezzo and the Canal Piccolo and Canal Grande di Meduna were sotto osservazione, under observation, with no sign of a new start. (as of 2026-08-15)
- Advice in force: Regional state of emergency for the wildfires across Friuli Venezia Giulia. Signed on 14 August by the president of the region, Massimiliano Fedriga, with the regional civil protection councillor, Riccardo Riccardi. The drought emergency was extended to the whole regional territory at the same time. (as of 2026-08-14)
- Advice in force: Hang gliders and paragliders banned while firefighting aircraft are flying. The ban was announced with the emergency declaration on 14 August and applies while the aerial operation is running. (as of 2026-08-14)
- Advice in force: No road closure reported in the Tramonti valleys. The only road closure in the regional bulletin is the SR UD 125 del Sasso Tagliato between Tolmezzo and Amaro, in Carnia, with traffic sent round by the SS 52 Carnica, and the Forca del Cristo municipal road at Amaro. Neither is in this valley. (as of 2026-08-15)
- Advice in force: No evacuation reported at Tramonti di Sopra, Tramonti di Mezzo or Tramonti di Sotto. No source consulted this run reports anyone being moved out of the Tramonti valleys.
