"We are reviewing the national strategy , and the provision of a functional, forward-looking headquarters opens the possibility of increasing the number of air bases in Sardinia as well."

This was stated by Undersecretary of the Interior, Emanuele Prisco, regarding forest firefighting on the sidelines of the presentation of the project for the new fire station at Cagliari-Elmas Airport. "We are evaluating a prevention strategy with a widespread presence, especially in the summer," Prisco specified, "thanks to the opening of ten rural and summer detachments and staff. And we are working to address the chronic staff shortages the island faces, taking into account the island's insularity criteria."

In the coming months, there will be an increase in staffing: "By the end of the year, applying the constitutional principle of insularity, we will see the return of Sardinian personnel to Sardinia," said Eros Mannino, national firefighter chief. "The airport will undergo a reclassification process , making it a facility capable of hosting part of our aircraft fleet."
