Arson probe opened into Pisa wildfire

(ANSA) - Pisa, September 25 - An arson probe has been opened into the wildfire near Pisa that sent more than 600 hectares of forest up into smoke and forced the evacuation of 700 people on Tuesday, prosecutors said.
    "We have decided to open a file featuring the hypothesis of arson on the basis of some clues that must now be confirmed by investigative action" said Pisa chief prosecutor Alessandro Crini.
    "First and foremost there is the fact that the flames spread at night and in an evening that was substantially very cool".
    The blaze is devastating Mt Serra in the comuni of Calci and Vicopisano.
