A fire in Giave devastates the countryside and threatens a photovoltaic farm: five helicopters and three Canadairs are in action.

Firefighting teams are deployed in force to try to put out a fire that has been raging since this morning in the Giave area (Sassari province) in the Campo Giavesu area. The blaze broke out in the countryside near buildings and a large photovoltaic system. The fire also affected a wooded area.

The Forestry Corps initially intervened with the support of two light helicopters from the Anela and Bosa bases.

The Super Puma from the Alà dei Sardi base also arrived to reinforce the two vehicles.

As time passed, the situation worsened. To control the flames, in addition to two other light helicopters from the Sorgono and Farcana bases, two Canadairs from Olbia were requested. A third Canadair is expected to arrive around 3:00 PM.
