Fire in the hamlet of San Lorenzo, in Sassari. Shortly before 12, a violent fire destroyed large portions of vegetation, requiring the intervention of the firefighters, Civil Protection, Forestas and the local police. According to what was confirmed by the agents, a suspect was arrested.
The fire came dangerously close to the railway line between Alghero and Sassari, forcing the authorities to suspend rail traffic. The flames spread for at least a hectare before being put out.
According to an initial reconstruction, the fire started in an area near the former nomad camp. At the moment, arson is not excluded: investigations are underway to clarify the causes.
