A fiery inferno is devastating Sardinia from north to south. Also due to the high temperatures, 24 fires have spread today, in some cases even threatening homes and   with the necessary intervention of the regional air fleet.

Fear in the Nurra territories, with the fire that has devastated the countryside of some centers of Sassari. A large fire is affecting the village of Alghero, Santa Maria La Palma, near the airport, in the Monte Zirra area, where the evacuation of some residents has also been triggered . The strong wind is favoring the spread of the flames in the countryside, a short distance from the homes. Flight chaos at the airport with diversions to Cagliari: among the flights directed to Elmas those arriving from Barcelona, Pisa and Catania.

Dozens of men from the Forestry Corps and Civil Protection, along with firefighter teams, were involved in extinguishing operations. Helicopters and Canadairs were also in the air.

In Ozieri a large fire broke out in the afternoon a few steps from the hospital . The flames developed, around 2 pm, in the locality of Puppuruju and Murada, on the outskirts of the town, a densely populated area. On site a helicopter from the Anela operational base, the Superpuma from the Alà dei Sardi base and a Canadair from Olbia.

Flames also in Villacidro, in the T. Narti area, with three helicopters in flight for extinguishing operations.

In Quartucciu , in the Mela Murgia area, the extinguishing was coordinated by the personnel of the Campu Omu Forestry Corps Station, assisted by the regional helicopter with the airlifted personnel from the CFVA base in Villasalto.
