The fire has been put out and no one was injured, they said. Two teams and two fire engines intervened at 12:50 p.m. (1150 GMT) in Sesto Fiorentino, a north-western suburb of the Tuscan capital city, which is home to several factories serving the luxury leather industry.
“The firefighters extinguished the fire, which affected the extraction system outside the industrial building” and cooling operations were underway, the Florence fire department said in a statement.
Ferragamo was not immediately available for comment.
