The accidental fire that broke out in Sarroch on Wednesday morning devastated the countryside and highlighted the limits of the regional fire prevention system .
About 240 hectares of territory went up in smoke , mostly made up of Mediterranean scrub, but where junipers, cork oaks and olive trees were also present.
«I felt a lot of anger and frustration, it took over thirty years to see this area green up and in one day everything was destroyed», the words of Mayor Dessì. Who also attacked: « Wednesday there was no direction . At a certain point, at the worst moment of the fire, we could no longer count on air cover. After such a dry winter and unseasonal heat like that of April, we cannot afford to start the firefighting campaign only from May 15th ."
«We are preparing to launch the firefighting campaign by mid-May, rather than in June as in the past» are the words of Rosanna Laconi , councilor for environmental protection who yesterday convened a table with the main protagonists of the fight against fire to do the point on the organization of the machine. At the moment, there is a lack of men and means .
