Five "light" helicopters, which can transport a thousand liters of water, two "heavy", Super Puma, with the possibility of 4 thousand liters of cargo and men on board to be deployed according to need. Four less than last year, when there were 11 helicopters available, all "light".

The three Canadianairs in Olbia have been confirmed, to which another Canadianair or a helitanker could be added from Rome. These are the numbers of the Sardinian firefighting campaign, which began on May 1st.

Presenting it, assisted by the head of the Forestry Corps Fabio Improveti and the director of Civil Protection Aldo Derudas, was the Environment councilor Rosanna Laconi, who focused on the unsuccessful tenders: «With regards especially to helicopters, I believe that this is the time to move forward and address the problem rather than follow the controversies - said Laconi -. So we are all fighting to get the maximum results and I would say that this is my answer."
