A fire at a large campsite on Italy's Lake Garda resulted in 24 people being injured, with one suffering severe burns to the legs and many others treated for carbon monoxide poisoning, Italian authorities reported on Sunday. The blaze ignited shortly after 6 am, in a bungalow at the Bella Italia campsite located on the southern shore of the lake, a popular holiday destination in Italy.
Flames soared several meters high, creating a significant column of smoke that rose into the sky. The fire brigade stated that the fire was under control quickly, although the explosion of gas canisters made firefighting efforts challenging. Seven individuals, including a Swiss family with three children, were taken to the emergency room for treatment. Numerous ambulances were joined by fire crews to assist with the situation.
Police are currently investigating the cause of the fire, and approximately 20 structures were destroyed in the incident.
