The Forestry Corps is still at work with the support of a helicopter from the Limbara operational base and two Canadairs from Olbia to put out the fire that broke out late yesterday afternoon in the Giuncaglia area , in the municipality of Aglientu .
The firefighting operations are coordinated by the Luogosanto forestry station.
There is no respite, therefore: yesterday approximately 20 hectares of pine forest were destroyed by fire with the local police having to intervene to evacuate swimmers from two beaches close to the area affected by the fire.
The flames destroyed the sewage treatment plant in a village near provincial road 90, and the road (Castelsardo-Santa Teresa) remained closed for several hours while firefighting operations were carried out.
The fire grazed an area dotted with houses and came very close to the residence near the provincial road.
The Forestry Corps immediately began an investigation. The safety of hundreds of people living in the area and the integrity of the Monti Russu Site of Community Importance were put at risk.
