The incident forced the preventive evacuation of three families living in the area. During the emergency, local residents had to intervene to rescue an elderly couple through the back of one of the affected properties.
The Local Police are investigating the origin of the fire, which appears to be intentional. According to initial inquiries, the vehicle fire may have been arson, a hypothesis reinforced by the fact that, hours earlier, officers had to extinguish several burning dumpsters at the same corner.
