With 15 minutes to reach the station and 10 to 20 minutes for mutual aid, officials warn trucks and crews may be insufficient.

Oldest human footprints found in Italy volcano ash
Italian researchers report three fossilized trail sets in southern Italy dating about 350000 years. The tracks, possibly by late Homo erectus or Homo Heidelbergensis, show three individuals traversing a steep, ash covered slope amid a pyroclastic flow. The finds, published in Nature, provide a sobering glimpse into early human movement.
