Quartu still in flames, fire in the Molentargius reeds. The mayor: "Keep the windows closed"

Quartu still burns.

The firefighters are at work in the Molentargius reeds between via Trieste and viale Colombo.

Among the flames there was also an abandoned warehouse where there was toxic material, which is why the firefighters are working with self-contained breathing apparatus.

Quartu brucia ancora

Le forze antincendio sono al lavoro nel canneto del Molentargius

Tra via Trieste e viale Colombo

I Vigili del fuoco stanno operando con gli autorespiratori, sei intossicati

Tra le fiamme anche un deposito abbandonato

La colonna di fumo

This is a shed where there was probably waste such as paint and other similar materials. A blanket of black smoke has risen in the area, also visible from the Poetto beach .

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished and the reclamation operations began.

Six firefighters remained intoxicated while the mayor Graziano Milia asked the residents of the affected area, Lungosaline in Viale Colombo, to keep the windows closed as a precaution.
