A large fire broke out this afternoon in the countryside of Ghilarza, in the locality of “Ena Trasino” . Three helicopters and a Canadair intervened on site to slow the rapid advance of the fire. The fire is still being extinguished; the 131 in the direction of Olbia was closed for a few hours and then immediately reopened. On the ground, the personnel of Gauf of Oristano intervened, with two teams from Forestas, the Fire Brigade, three teams from Barracelli and the volunteers of Soccorso Sardegna Centrale.
It is the largest of the 15 fires that broke out today in Sardinia .
This morning the Forestry and Forestas teams were busy again, for the third day in a row, in Codrongianos, to put out the last outbreaks of the fire that broke out on August 11. The intervention of a light helicopter was also necessary to clear some points that were difficult to reach given the roughness of the area affected by the flames.
A helicopter and a Super Puma intervened in the countryside of Laconi , in the “Canali Margiane” area, where the intervention of the fire-fighting personnel is still ongoing, coordinated by the personnel of the Laconi Forestry Corps Station. The flames were completely tamed in Escalaplano , where a light helicopter intervened this morning, concluding the operations shortly before 11.
