The extremely high temperatures
and dry climate of these hours have favored the outbreak of a
fire this morning near Mount Trstelj in the municipal area of
Kostanjevica na Krasu, in the Slovenian Karst. According to
reports, about 100 firefighters are already operating, also
using aircraft.
Smoke is visible from dozens of kilometers away, affecting
Italian territory as well, in the same areas that were
devastated by the fires of summer 2022: Doberdò del Lago,
Fogliano Redipuglia, Ronchi dei Legionari.
The port authority of Monfalcone (GO) has authorized
Slovenian Canadair planes to refuel in the gulf in front of the
Marina Julia beach. Italian firefighters and the Fvg Civil
Protection are on alert and ready to intervene in support of
their colleagues across the border.
To monitor the situation of the forest fires in the Slovenian
Karst, the mayor of Gorizia, Rodolfo Ziberna, has canceled all
his institutional commitments for today and is personally
following the developments of the situation.
