The tongues of flame have spread from Pala 'e pistoccu, a locality downstream from Tricoli, up to S'Arcu 'e susu, an upper area of Lanusei, near the Seleni woods, threatening a workshop and some homes along the area crossed by the fire . The fire started this afternoon.
The firefighting machine was immediately set in motion, with a helicopter taking off from the San Cosimo forestry base that had to make several launches to tame the flames . The operations, coordinated by the Forestry Corps, also involved the Lanusei firefighters and the Forestas staff plus groups of volunteers.
Just over an hour of work to get the better of the fire, probably of malicious origin . Investigators will ascertain the exact causes of the blaze that has kept the residents of the area in suspense. The clean-up operation ended around 5 pm.
