Blazes on Mount Vesuvius Trigger Evacuations and Fears of Eruption

Description

Multiple fires broke out across Mount Vesuvius near Naples on Wednesday, forcing authorities to evacuate local residents. Thick smoke billowed from several spots on the mountain, leading residents from surrounding towns and villages to falsely believe that the volcano had erupted. The fire threatens the national park surrounding the mountain, as well as adjacent landfill sites, sparking fears of toxic smoke being unleashed on nearby towns.
