Firefighters from the local detachment in action this morning in Porto Torres . They intervened around 1.30pm, in via della Libertà , due to the sudden detachment of a downspout from the cornice of a building in the Villaggio Verde .

Due to the strong wind, the structure fell to the ground, fortunately without serious consequences or damage to people or parked cars.

The noise caused by the crash to the ground attracted the attention of the tenants who immediately alerted 115 . Fortunately , no one was passing through the area at the time .

The fire brigade teams, who arrived on site with the ladder truck, cordoned off the area to allow the rainwater to be drained safely. Having reached the detachment point they verified the danger of further failures.
