ABRUZZO. Fires in Abruzzo in 2006 was 56, for a total of 158 acres of forest went up in smoke, and 184 acres of other types of fields, crops and fallow land. 340 acres in all. This is what findings of the report "Do not joke with fire", the campaign of monitoring, prevention and information Legambiente and the Forest Service.
But the number of fires, following a wave of bad these days that has seen a burst in less than eighteen weeks (data not final) is certainly destined to be remembered as a bad year in 2007. Yet the information campaigns were bringing good results, because the fires had decreased in the last three years. The big question remains, however, the behavior of municipalities that do not secure the area and do not apply a law that exists.
If in 2003 you could count 81 fires since 2004 has decreased by 54 fires, in 2005 there were 50 and 56, in fact, last year.
Teramo and Chieti province most affected by the number of areas burnt in the last four years but is in L'Aquila the sad record for the amount of land burned: 838 acres well a past situation, that of Abruzzo, which could be considered average, unsatisfactory seen in relation to the numerous fires in other regions.
But events of recent days have instead brought the first between the Abruzzo region of Italy, with Calabria, Lazio, Puglia, having to deal with flames and fire and with the likely arson.
Yes, because according to the report of Legambiente and Forestry though they reduce the number of positively fires and the areas covered by fire, remain practically constant in Italy the causes of the fires.
Practically in our country there are no natural fires, not directly related to human action. Therefore always fires caused by humans, causes voluntary and involuntary, often unwary and unwise. In fact, last year 15% of the fires has been negligent in nature, caused by carelessness, negligence and violation of the rules. But in 2006, as in previous years, the real drama is represented by the Italian arson, deliberately set by arsonists hanged for various reasons including speculation and illusion to create jobs related to the activities of off. In fact, when 60% of fires are related to interests of a few that affect economic development compatible with the environment of entire communities.
