A fire at the Christmas market occurred in Rovereto yesterday, Tuesday, December 24, within the children’s village in Piazza Malfatti. The flames broke out in the afternoon, affecting several fir trees, likely due to embers carried by the wind from nearby braziers. The alert was raised when visitors noticed the blaze, and assistance from the fire department was immediately requested.
Thanks to the prompt intervention of the firefighters, the area was secured, and the flames were extinguished before they could spread to the traditional wooden stalls of the market. Fortunately, no injuries or cases of smoke inhalation were reported in the incident. The situation has raised concerns regarding the safety of events during the holiday season, but the organizers are already considering preventive measures to ensure the peace of mind of visitors.
