A large fire broke out this morning on the southern outskirts of Carbonia.

The flames started from a point close to the road to Serbariu and devoured a large area covered in Mediterranean scrub.

A regional firefighting helicopter from the Pula base intervened on site, providing support from above to the teams on the ground, made up of firefighters, forestry and civil protection.

Shortly afterwards a Canadair was also operational.

The fire reached a farm near Punta Torretta.
