New large fire this afternoon in Sulcis, after the one that destroyed the countryside between Nuraxi Figus and Cortoghiana yesterday.

The flames, high due to the thick vegetation that acts as “fuel”, started from the Flumentepido area to cross the provincial road 2 and climb up Mount Sirai.

The road was closed and southbound traffic diverted towards Flumentepido.

Guide and staff of the archaeological area (there is also a refreshment point), about ten people, were rescued by the firefighters. One of the workers was reportedly intoxicated.

On site, in addition to numerous teams on the ground, two Canadairs and a helicopter arrived from Pula.
