Minister for Civil Protection and Sea
Policy Nello Musumeci will hold an urgent briefing in the
Chamber of Deputies (Lower House) at 4pm on Thursday on the
fires in Sicily and at Catania airport, Deputy Speaker Sergio
Costa announced Wednesday.
Wildfires on the Italian island, many believed to be the work of
fire starters, have killed at least three people and caused
untold destruction of property and crops.
The government has vowed to increase protections against fores
and hunt down pyromaniacs.
