A homeless man was injured in a fire that broke out around 4am on Sunday, November 15, in Rimini’s railway area, near the Metromare terminus.
According to initial reports, the man had lit a fire to keep warm next to a building belonging to Rfi (the Italian rail network operator) that he was occupying without authorization. The flames reportedly spread to some wooden pallets stacked outside.
While trying to put out the blaze, he reportedly suffered minor burns to his arms. He was treated by emergency medical services and taken to Infermi Hospital; his condition is not thought to be serious.
Firefighters worked for about an hour and a half to extinguish the flames and secure the area. Railway police and Rfi technicians were also on site.
