\u201cThe Region is ready to create a special fund in the Budget Act soon to be approved, to support all of the necessary actions, in the short term and in the coming months, after the fire emergency that struck a number of provinces in Lombardy.\u201d This is what the President Lombardy Region President, Roberto Maroni<\/strong>, announced this morning, in Brinzio, near Varese, one of the areas affected by the fires, at the end of the closed meeting held in the office of the \u201cCampo dei Fiori\u201d Park, in the presence of the Prefect of Varese, Giorgio Zanzi<\/strong>, the Mayor of Varese, Davide Galimberti<\/strong>,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and of Luvinate,\u00a0Alessandro Boriani<\/strong>, <\/strong>the Chairman of the Park, Giuseppe Barra<\/strong>, the heads and volunteers of the Civil Defence and the Firemen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWE CAN\u2019T SKIMP ON SAFETY\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can tell the people we\u2019re calm, because we\u2019re going to do everything necessary, without skimping on resources,\u201d Maroni guaranteed, \u201cbecause safety is in danger, and we can\u2019t skimp on safety. We have to understand what resources are necessary and how to use them rapidly.\u201d For Lombardy Region, there was the CEO of DG Security, Civil Defence and Immigration, Fabrizio Cristalli<\/strong>, and the Director of Varese\u2019s Regional and Territorial Office, Augusto Conti<\/strong>. \u201cWhat we have to do immediately is make the area affected by the fires safe,\u201d Maroni explained, before meeting the mayors of the municipalities in the Park, the leaders of the Mountain Community and of the Province, and everyone who helped, first, to contain the fire, and then, to put it out. \u201cImmediately after, we have to make the valleys safe, to prevent the fire emergency from becoming a flood emergency, with the movement also of the debris caused by the fire. In the spring, we\u2019ll have to continue the reforestation to put the territory in order again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

COORDINATION AND RESOURCES<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTo do all of this, we need coordination, which will be headed by the Regional and Territorial Office of Varese, who, together with the Park, will coordinate all of these initiatives, with all of the mayors involved, who will appoint a coordinator, creating the team work we saw during the emergency. The Park will also be involved, with also our regional organisation, ERSAF; everyone must be ready, if necessary, to get involved and do his bit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also take resources to do all of this, and we\u2019ve already allocated some in the Regional Development Plan. I\u2019ve asked the Chairman of the Park to determine, as soon as possible, the order of magnitude, to making the area safe, and then replant; if it\u2019s not enough, in the 2018-20 Budget Act, which we\u2019re approving at the end of November, we\u2019ll create a special fund, because this was an extraordinary emergency, so we\u2019re going to find the resources to do everything; we must find them.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A REGIONAL DECISION ON HUNTING<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re also evaluating the question of hunting,\u201d Maroni added. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to understand if we should accept the request that some environmental organisations and even some mayors have made, to put a ban on hunting not only in the area involved, where it\u2019s already suspended until 16 November, but also in the areas around it. This is an evaluation we are making; there are pros and cons, such as the wild boars that procreate and then create other types of damage.”<\/p>\n

ALL THE DATA ABOUT THE FIRES<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 25 October to 3 November, the northern part of the region was affected by severe, particularly intense and extended fires, involving 1160 hectares of woodland<\/strong>, from the east to the west of Lombardy, to the borders with Piedmont and Trentino. The actual area covered by the fire was estimated at 350 hectares for Varese Province<\/strong>, about 220 hectares for Brescia Province, about 452 hectares for Como Province, about 135 hectares for Sondrio Province, and about 2 hectares for Pavia Province.<\/p>\n

In Varese Province<\/strong>, in particular, there were 2 fires between 25 October and 3 November. The first, which began on 25 October and resumed on the 27th, in the Campo dei Fiori Park, then extended into the valley and westwards on the 29th, threatening the inhabitants of Luvinate, Barasso and Comerio. The second fire began on the 28th in Rasa, near Varese, and work to make it safe has continued since 1 November. The fires burned for 8 days and it took two more to put them out completely. Four municipalities were affected: Varese, Luvinate, Barasso and Comerio. More than 500 hectares of woods caught fire. Fifty people were evacuated from Luvinate and Barasso, all have returned now. The numbers of people involved in putting out the fires: 544 Woodland Fire Brigade volunteers and 86 firefighters.
