«Wake up by a terrible acrid and pungent smell that has invaded the whole house and is preventing us from breathing ».
Nightmare for AP, from Cagliari who lives right in front of the stadium , after the fire that broke out yesterday in the industrial area of Macchiareddu . Patchy blackouts occurred between Sarroch and the capital, while the very high exhaust pipes of nearby Saras went into blockade, to then release smoke and flames when the electricity returned.
A cable was probably cut inadvertently, thus causing the flames to break out and damage Terna's plants. Dalla Saras, in a note, reconstruct what happened: "Due to the blackouts, the safety system of the torches was activated with the inevitable escape of smoke".
For those who live in Cagliari, and beyond, the air has become unbreathable, as AP recounts: «My throat and nose are sore, it's terrible. If the situation continues I will be forced to go to the emergency room.
It's not the first time it's happened: « This is the third or fourth night I've spent in these conditions lately. I have been reporting this problem for several years, which manifests itself above all in the summer around 4-5 in the morning for a couple of hours, due to the hot air conditions or due to the windows being kept open, even if sometimes it also filters from the closed windows. I reported the problem to the environmental municipal police who refer me to the fire brigade, who refer me to the carabinieri etc. I have also reported the matter with various pecs, over the years, to Arpas, the Department of the Environment and the Municipality of Cagliari. Nothing happened".
Hence the bitter conclusion: " I will be forced to sell my house and flee to a healthier place ."
