Sunday with a red dot not only in terms of weather, but also in terms of fires that show no signs of stopping throughout the island.

After the "green massacre" of the past few hours in the Sarcidano area, today the community of Sant'Andrea Frius is paying the price. A large fire that broke out around 12.30 in the locality of "Miorì" is advancing towards the town, fueled by the strong wind .

"In less than ten minutes the flames rose high, over 8 meters, not far from the electric cables", say the residents.

Three Forestry Corps helicopters are operating with difficulty on the spot. The intervention of two Canadairs and the A500 helicopter was also requested .

And while the flames are raging, protests are mounting among the citizens of the country . "We are worried. We contacted the rescue services for several minutes, but they are slow in arriving ».

"I alerted the emergency services around 12.35, I was going to work," says a citizen on social networks. “ The fire was not yet extensive and could be fought, but too much time has passed between the reporting and the arrival of help . The fire engine is totally inadequate.'
