Multiple fires broke out across Mount Vesuvius near Naples on Wednesday, forcing authorities to evacuate local residents. Thick smoke billowed from several spots on the mountain, leading residents from surrounding towns and villages to falsely believe that the volcano had erupted. The fire threatens the national park surrounding the mountain, as well as adjacent landfill sites, sparking fears of toxic smoke being unleashed on nearby towns.

Grindavik's 4,000 residents had been evacuated in November as a precaution. Shortly after a December 18 eruption, they were allowed to return for brief periods. They were authorised to regain their homes permanently on December 23 but only a few dozen chose to do so. IMAGES
