A fire at Malga Grassi struck Riva del Garda in the early afternoon of Saturday, July 5, when a lightning strike ignited a blaze in a technical room of the facility. The incident was reported around 1:00 PM, prompting the swift intervention of the firefighters, who arrived on the scene with two vehicles and five personnel to contain the flames and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. Initial investigations suggest that the lightning may have damaged the electrical system, particularly at the point where the power line from the valley reaches the malga.
The firefighting operations were successfully carried out, but details regarding any potential structural consequences of the incident are still being assessed. The firefighters worked diligently to prevent the fire from spreading to other nearby areas.
