1,000 tourists evacuated after fire in southern Italy

The fire brigade on Wednesday ordered the evacuation of a campsite and holiday village hosting around 1,200 holidaymakers as a precautionary measure due to major wildfire in a forest around San Felice Bay, near the Puglia seaside town of Vieste, according to ANSA.

Tourists who do not have cars were being taken by boat to be accommodated in a gymnasium provided by the Vieste town council.

Two Canadair planes and a fire brigade helicopter were in action along with fire-engine teams on the ground to combat the flames, which were being pushed towards the holiday village by strong winds.
