Triei, the flames in the countryside threaten homes and a church: helicopters and Canadairs are in the air.
The area affected by the fire is a few kilometers from the border with LotzoraiA forest fire broke out late this morning in the Triei area of Ogliastra. The area affected by the flames is just a few kilometers from the border with Lotzorai.
The fire engine is in action. The flames are being pushed by strong gusts of north-easterly wind.
Two helicopters also supported the ground teams, one taking off from the San Cosimo base (Lanusei) and the other (Super Puma) from Fenosu. In addition , another Super Puma and a Canadair were requested.
The fire is constantly evolving due to frequent changes in wind direction and the virulence of the flames, which are attacking the surrounding vegetation.
As time passed, the situation became increasingly critical. The fire advanced around several farmhouses, also threatening the country church of Sant'Antonio di Padova.
