There are those who waited for it with confidence and those who had already lost hope. Yet, during the night, the rain arrived on Calangianus and its cork oak trees devastated by yesterday's huge fire . So, while the country was trying to sleep and forget for just a few hours the sad spectacle that took place in the countryside – a storm arrived. Providential, given the damage caused by the fire which gave no respite to the town and the firefighting machinery.

Water that soothes the wounds left by the fires, the same ones that put those who tried to challenge the force of the tongues of fire between Sigara and Lu Fungoni in difficulty, where the toll is at least 150 hectares of forest gone up in smoke. There, in the field, the problems of the fire-fighting system emerged, which in its current structure has insufficient aerial means and are subjected to an extreme workload.

So the island is struggling amidst difficulties. Ignazio Masala, secretary of Safor, announced this in recent days, underlining that «the conditions for effective reclamation interventions are no longer there . The Forestas teams are not enough, the helicopter is missing at the Limbara base." Added to this is the "observation network of lookouts which has been drastically reduced".
