About 12 fire brigade teams and about sixty men, in addition to the Civil Protection and the Forestry Corps, worked all night and are still engaged in extinguishing operations in an attempt to put out the big fire that devoured some warehouses in road 12 of Predda Niedda in Sassari.

The huge fire broke out in the commercial area adjacent to the Eurospin supermarket, which was evacuated along with other outlets. The fire destroyed some production activities including the refrigeration and air conditioning systems company from which the fire started, probably due to a short circuit. Two firefighters were injured, they were poisoned and immediately rescued by the 118 ambulance: one of them was discharged and the other is in good health.

The massive intervention served to delimit the fire which has a front of several square meters and which also damaged a car tire depot, a company for the supply of machinery for laundries, a candle factory, an industrial laundry, a air conditioning company, a warehouse of a company for wedding planning and another for catering.

On site the local police and 118 ambulances, the police and carabinieri forces. The blowing wind carried the smell of burning for several kilometers into the city.
