A big fire broke out in the early afternoon between Guspini and San Gavino. State road 197 was closed to traffic in both directions for a long time, because the flames fueled by the strong gusts of the sirocco made transit dangerous.

The area most affected was the one at the junction for Gonnosfanadiga. Five teams from the regional firefighting system worked on site.

In the first phase, two helicopters took off (from Villasalto and from the Marganai base) but they were unable to deal with the blaze, so the intervention of another aircraft was requested, which took off from Fenosu.
