The high temperature and a light sirocco were the ideal trigger to restart the fire in the countryside between Paulilatino and Ula Tirso . High flames and a thick blanket of smoke in the area where the fire last Saturday was caused by the terrible road accident in which three motorcyclists lost their lives.

The Forestry Corps is operating on site, with the support of four helicopters, two Superpumas and two light ones . Two Canadairs arriving from Olbia .

In the early afternoon the fire reignited and the fire-fighting apparatus was immediately put into motion. Teams from the forestry corps, firefighters, Forestas and barracelli arrived on site. But not only that: also two forestry helicopters took off from Farcana and Pula, one of the army, two Superpumas and three Canadair. A quarter is expected to arrive at 8.15pm. An attempt was made to immediately block the advance of the fire after it had crossed over 200 hectares of land last Saturday, also devastating several olive groves.
