Udine, branches and waste clog the canal: the water comes out in piazzale Chiavris

At the Ardito Desio park the wind blew the plexiglass sheets: the area was made safe

UDINE. Branches and trees lead dangerously onto the roads, tiles, pieces of cornices, elements of construction sites and sheets flown in the middle of the roadway or on parked cars, torn road signs, unsafe signs and even some flooding.

The bad weather, which affected the whole region on Saturday, with strong gusts of wind and scattered rainfall, even abundant, did not fail to cause damage in the city as well. About thirty in all interventions carried out by the firefighters of the provincial command in via Popone.

In via Val D’Arzino, Saturday afternoon, in the Ardito Desio park, the area was made safe by local police agents and by the firefighters of the provincial command after some plexiglass plates fell off, precisely because of the wind, from the roof of the structure.

Branches and leaves ended up inside the canal in piazzale Chiavris and blocked the grill.

This prevented the smooth flow of water, which overflowed causing a small flood.

Also in this case, the firefighters, local police agents and also civil protection volunteers intervened on the spot, who restored the regular water flow.

“The call came just before 1pm from the local police – explains the coordinator of the Civil Protection, Graziano Mestroni -. Due to the strong wind, large branches, leaves, pieces of plastic, bags of various sizes and even some large plastic pots that flew into the canal from the garden of a house ended up inside the canal, near Chiavris square. not far away.

All this completely blocked the flow of water. We cleaned everything and loaded the material, together with an Ideal Service operator, who arrived immediately on site with a vehicle. All the dirt was then disposed of in the landfill. The operation lasted a couple of hours in all ». There were some minor inconveniences even in the downtown area.
