Local authorities began evacuating residents and tourists. As informs Іndependent, over Naples and vicinities huge clouds of a smoke have flown by.

This raises fears that the volcano may have erupted. At the same time, experts are sure that, in all likelihood, the cause of the fire is not in volcanic activity, but in a series of surface fires.

Now firefighters are trying to prevent the spread of fire, but they still can not completely extinguish the flames because of the drought.

At the same time, the authorities fear that the fire can spread to the burial sites of waste on the slopes of the volcano, which could potentially lead to emissions of toxic smoke.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, in the village of Myla Kiev-Svyatoshinsky area on the night of Thursday, July 13, burning wood stores. Fortunately, no one was injured by the fire. As the press service of the State Service of Ukraine for Emergencies, the fire began after three o'clock in the morning.
