MILAN (AP):
Italian media says two property owners have died battling wildfires fuelled by heat and winds that have consumed vast swathes of southern Italy.
The news agency ANSA reported that two retirees in their 60s died in separate incidents in the southern region of Calabria trying to defend their property from encroaching flames, but were instead overcome by smoke.
The Legambiente environmental group says some 26,000 hectares (more than 64,000 acres) of woodlands have been destroyed by flames since mid-June.
Authorities say the number of blazes 125 wildfires are now active in Sicily alone suggests that some are tied to arson. Italy's environment minister did not rule out Mafia involvement in the blazes in an interview in the Corriere della Sera.
