Faenza, August 21, 2026 – A warehouse with farm work vehicles went up in smoke. These are the consequences of a fire that broke out in Faenza shortly after 2 p.m. on via Ravegnana inside a farm company.
From the barn, at number 174, a column of smoke suddenly rose and the flames quickly spread until they engulfed the entire structure. The alarm was immediately raised and firefighters from Faenza rushed to the scene with three vehicles, the Radiomobile carabinieri, and an ambulance from 118.
The firefighters contained and extinguished the fire in about two hours, then proceeded with the stability checks of the warehouse.
It is reported that an intentional origin has been ruled out. The fire actually developed while a heavy downpour was underway, and so according to a first hypothesis it could have been a lightning strike hitting the warehouse that caused the blaze. Fortunately, no one was inside the structure involved in the flames. However, the damage was severe, both to the barn and to the agricultural vehicles contained inside.
It was one of many interventions by firefighters throughout the province after the storm that caused damage and disruptions also along the roads due to fallen trees. Some roads were temporarily closed to allow firefighters to make them passable again safely by removing the trunks.
In Lido Adriano the fury of the wind caused the complete collapse of the glass balustrade of the Calipso Residence, located at number 345 of viale Petrarca.
Trees also fell in Lido di Savio, in the city center, and in San Pietro in Vincoli, where a tree fell on a light pole.
