A 69-year-old man is dead after a
blaze broke out in a second-floor flat in a Rome apartment
building in the central street of Via del Governo Vecchio in the
early hours of Tuesday.
The building was evacuated after Carabinieri police saw
the flames while on a patrol and raised the alarm.
Four teams of firefighters were needed to put out the
blaze and a Carabinieri officer was treated for smoke
inhalation.
