There is also the hand of man behind the fire that destroyed the countryside of Sorgono yesterday, incinerating 150 hectares of cork oak and Mediterranean scrub and charring a wealth of centuries-old trees .
What was only a suspicion is now a certainty, the staff of the Nuoro Forestry Corps and the colleagues of the Cagliari Inspection Unit have identified the trigger point from which the flames started , which spread very quickly due to the high temperatures and the wind.
A fire that immediately became gigantic, despite the immediate intervention of the fire engine: four helicopters from the regional fleet intervened, including the Super Puma, and five Canadairs .
This morning the reclamation operations were completed with water jets on the last outbreaks and at the same time the investigations by the Forestry Corps were started, which led to the identification of the first trigger.
As in Posada, as in Costa Rei, as in Quartu, there are always arsonists behind the most demanding and devastating fires of this summer .
«This year – explains the commander of the Regional Forestry Corps Fabio Migliorati – we have doubled the investigative activity compared to the past. Today, precisely to intensify the checks and find useful ideas for the investigations, we have sent the inspection team to Sorgono from Cagliari. The results of our activity will come soon».
