Garbage set on fire [1]

Angry residents in Naples attacked fire-fighters trying to extinguish burning garbage in the trash collection crisis in the southern Italian city, said authorities. Fire-fighters said the residents threw stones. No injuries were reported. Fire-fighters said the police had to escort them while putting out fires. Premier Silvio Berlusconi would preside over a Cabinet meeting in Naples this week to resolve the garbage collection crisis, which broke out in December 2007 when collectors stopped picking up trash because there was no more room at the dumps.
