Just a month ago, on 7 March, the media said that it had already been decided to close the Ternua incinerator, which would take a year. In addition to the anti-incineration activists, local politicians also celebrated with words of triumph the announcement of the closure. 40 days later, on the morning of 15 April, the flames were unleashed at the incinerator in the Maratta district.

To the site, five fire allocations have been displaced in order to quell the fire declared. Officials of the public agency ARPA, which is responsible for monitoring environmental problems, have also come to the site in search of potential pollutants. Terni has a population of 1111111,000.
