Chants, smoke bombs, banners. But also numerous injuries. This is the result of the long night of celebrations in Naples, which saw the overwork of 118, which intervened on eight red codes and 44 yellow codes. The people, taken to the city hospitals, fortunately are not in danger of life. Among the other interventions that of a fan, rescued from the health point in Piazza Plebiscito for a deep cut on his arm and taken to the hospital.

" No one is in danger of life - explains Giuseppe Galano, director of 118 in Naples - almost all the people we took to the hospital had burns from fireworks or intoxication from the smoke bombs used to celebrate" . 118 worked with 9 health points distributed in Piazza del Plebiscito, Piazza Mercato, Piazza Giovanni Paolo II in Scampia, Piazza del Gesù, Piazza Dante, Piazza Vittoria, Piazza Garibaldi and near Maradona in Piazzale Tecchio and near Piazzale D'Annunzio. "My thanks - says Galano - go to all the 118 operators and the private entities that participated free of charge with us in the night of work that are the ambulances of Nefrocenter, CRI and Heart Life. We had a great team on the field that started working yesterday at 3 pm and finished tonight at 3 am demonstrating professionalism, self-denial and above all humanity towards the citizens. We also worked a lot in the dedicated operations center, thus acting as a control room for all the interventions".

The number of injured, according to Galano's estimates, more or less reflects those of the championship two years ago. But "while last time there had already been large pre-celebrations that somehow diluted the number of people in the squares, yesterday there was a greater mass of citizens. Now we are getting to work to prepare for the big celebration on Monday, that too will be a demanding service with an immense crowd. We are preparing 9 health points to be ready for any rescue operations", concludes Galano.
