The fight against wildfires in Sardinia continues. Numerous blazes continued to break out today from north to south of the island.
In southern Sardinia, a fire broke out this afternoon in Furtei , near "Is Concas." A helicopter initially responded to the blaze, but the situation worsened : the Forestry Corps dispatched additional aircraft from its operational bases in Iglesias, Pula, and Fenosu, using the Super Puma. An Air Force A500AM helicopter and a Canadair were also requested.
Meanwhile, in Teulada, flames are reported in the Riu de Monti area. Here, too, only one helicopter was initially reported to be working, but "given the severity of the flames," the Forestry Department said, a Canadair and another helicopter were requested to intervene.
In Florinas, the Forestry Corps intervened, with the support of two helicopters from the Forestry Corps operational bases in Limbara and the SuperPuma in Fenosu.
There are also flames in Burgos in the Truveinerva area, where the intervention of three helicopters and a Super Puma was necessary.
In Siligo, state highway 131 was closed for about an hour this afternoon due to smoke that filled the road . The fire spread to nearby countryside.
Meanwhile, firefighting teams also worked in Olzai to clear up yesterday's fire.
