The raging fires in Sardinia continue, with the island facing yet another weekend of emergency and numerous interventions by the Forestry Corps . Four fires broke out in the early afternoon.

The first broke out in the countryside of Escalaplano , in the Riu Colla Colla area, where firefighting operations are coordinated by the Director of Firefighting Operations (DOS) of the Escalaplano forestry station, with the support of a helicopter that took off from the Villasalto base. Flames are also burning in the Cabras area, in the Pauli Acqua Urchi area. A helicopter from the Fenosu base is operating on site, while coordination is entrusted to the DOS of the Oristano forestry station.

The third fire broke out in the municipality of Uras , in the Riu Perdosu area. Two helicopters were deployed, including a Super Puma from the Alà dei Sardi base and another aircraft from Bosa. A Canadair Can-12, diverted by the Morgongiori fire, was also dispatched to support the fire. The Marrubiu forestry station is on site. The fourth fire is affecting the San Gavino Monreale area, in the Pranu Bettus area, where a helicopter from the Pula base is operating. The extinguishing operations are being coordinated by the DOS (Operation and Safety Officer) of the Villacidro forestry station. To allow for safe interventions, the Carabinieri of the Villacidro station have ordered the closure of state road 197 between San Gavino Monreale and Gonnosfanadiga.

The emergency continues in the Oristano area, where this morning the Forestry Corps responded to two fires, one in the countryside of the municipality of Narbolia, in the Su Zippiri area, and the other in Morgongiori, in the Is Benas area. Two helicopters, including the Super Puma and the Canadair, responded to the fires.
