Large fire in the countryside of Giave, in the Campo Giavesu area, along the 131 which was temporarily blocked due to the flames that are licking the road and threatening the agricultural businesses.

The fire broke out shortly before 4pm and is making it difficult for the Sassari firefighters to put it out, who have asked for support from the Forestry Corps and other fire-fighting forces.

Two Forestry helicopters and a Canadair from the Olbia base are operating on site.

Meanwhile, the fire is causing traffic disruption with long queues of cars.
