Summer of fire in Sardinia, 800 fires and 11.000 hectares in smoke
Between July 15 and August 15 there have been 26 fires a day. The disaster of Arbus caused by a farmer who was burning garbage.

Sassari. It doesn’t take much to destroy a wood. Fire doesn’t discount, it takes a moment to transform a tree in a handful of ash. To set 800 fires instead it took a month. Because even man doesn’t discount when he must achieve an objective, as far as it can be wrong.
The Fires. The impressive number of fires set in Sardinia is the result of a count made by Corpo Forestale between July 15 and August 15. Just a mont in which the count of shame stopped to an average of 26 fires a day. Not all are malicious, but most of them don’t cause significant damage and a good number is extinguished just after being set.
Yet in the island 11 hectares of territory went to smoke (from January to the beginning of September) because of 2866 fires. Unfortunately the count risks to be updated until October 31, when the anti-fires campaign of 2017 will be closed and when it should cease to exist the ideal conditions to transform a rudimentary trigger in a flaming nightmare that devastates nature and terrorizes those who find themselves in the front of fire. Except the incendiaries, the number of fires is exaggerated by all those who believe to be above the anti-fire ordinances who decide to defy even the rules of common sense with irresponsible behaviours which often end up to endanger human lives or to cancel centuries of Mother’s Nature work.
The Damages. The fire that devastated the area between Arbus and Gonnostramatza on July 31 was of malicious origin. It was set by a farmer which had in mind to burn a pile of garbage during one of the hottest days of the year, into a plot of land surrounded by dry plants and leaves. An imprudence that costed 3000 hectares of wood transformed into ash during the 30 hours of the fire’s life. Not only, to the count must be added 5 touristic structures evacuated, the penal colony of Is Arenas abandoned in a hurry by guards and prisoners, escaped to a beach of Costa Verde where they passed the night. Were not able to escape in time instead many animals burned to death while they were trying to escape from a fire with a front 10km long. The farmer has been reported, but the idea that the enormous fire that turned to ash 3000 hectares of Costa Verde could be avoided continues to turn in the heads of who has lost everything, agricultural and animal holdings. Different matter instead for the fire that during the half of July hit the area of San Teodoro and Budoni which forced the authorities to order a maxi evacuation that withdrew from houses and campings over 1000 people. The flames had been set voluntarily just when the wind was starting to blow. A strategy that amplifies the destructive power of fire and that is by now into the DNA of those who set fires. A nonsense in an island blessed by particular benevolent nature in which however, every year we shed tears of ash when the moment to count the damages arrives.

Istìu de fogu in Sardigna, 800 fogos e 11.000 èttaros in fumu
Intre su 15 de Trìulas e su 15 de Austu bi sun istados 26 fogos ogni die. Su disastru de Arbus causadu dae unu massaju qui fit brujende alga.
Thàtari. No bi quèret meda a destrùere una silva. Su fogu no fàghet iscontos, bi quèret un’iscutta a trasformare un’àrvure ind’unu muntone de chisjìna. A pònere 800 fogos b’est quèrfidu unu mese e bia. Ca s’homine puru no fàghet iscontos cando dèbet acchipire a un obiettivu, pro cantu pòttat essere isbagliadu.
Sos Fogos. S’impressionante numeru de fogos postos in Sardigna est su resultadu de su contu fattu dae su Corpus Forestale intre su 15 de Trìulas e su 15 de Austu. Ind’unu mese e bia, in ue su contu de sa ‘irgonza s’est firmu ad una media de 26 fogos ogni die. No totus sun malisciosos, ma sa majore parte no fàghet dannos medas e unu bonu numeru bènit istudadu dapoi de pagu tempus. Eppuru in s’isula sun andados in fumu 11.000 èttaros de territoriu (dae Bennarzu a s’incomintzu de Capidanni) pro culpa de 2866 fogos. Pro pèus su calculu arriscat de essere aggiornadu finas a su 31 de Santu Gaìne, cando s’hat a serrare sa campagna anti-fogos de su 2017 e cando han a sensare sas cunditziones ideales pro che mudare unu ruzzu allughinzu ind’un incubu de fogu qui devastat sa natura e assucconat sos qui s’agàttan in anti a su fronte de su fogu. Foras de sos qui pònen fogu, su numeru de sos fogos est ammanniadu dae totus sos qui créen de ch’essere a subra de sas ordinantzias anti-fogu e detzìdin de isfidare sas regulas de su bonu sensu cun cumportamentos irresponsabiles qui medas boltas fìnin pro che pònere in perigulu sas vidas humanas e pro ch'iscancellare seculos de tribagliu de Madre Natura.
Sos Dannos. Su fogu qui hat devastadu sa zona intre Arbus e Gonnostramatza su 31 de Trìulas fit de origine malisciosa. Est istadu postu dae unu massaju qui si ch’haìat postu in conca de brujare unu muntone de alga ind’una de sas dies piùs caldas de s’annu, ind’unu terrinu inghiriadu dae piantas e fozas siccas. Un’imprudentzia qui est costada 3000 èttaros de silva mudados in chisjìna durante sas 30 horas de vida de su fogu. No solu, ma a su contu quèren aggiuntas 5 istrutturas turisticas evacuadas, sa colonia penale de Is Arenas abbandonada in presse dae guardias e presoneris, fuìdos ind’un’ispiaggia de Costa Birde in ue ch’han passadu su notte. No sun istados capatzes de si che fuire a tempus invece, medas animales, mortos brujados mentre qui fin chirchende de si che fuire dae unu fogu cun’nd’unu fronte longu 10 kilometros. Su massaju est istadu denuntziadu, ma s’idea qui custu fogu goi mannu qui hat fattu a chisjìna 3000 èttaros de Costa Birde podìat essere evitadu sìghit a furriare in sas concas de sos qui han pèrdidu ogni cosa, aziendas agriculas e allevamentos de animales. Divessa quistione invece pro su fogu qui a meidade de su mese ‘e Trìulas hat brujadu sa zona de Santu Thiadoru e Budùne e qui hat custrintu sas autoridades a cumandare una maxi evacuatzione qui ch’hat istejadu dae domos e campeggios piùs de 1000 persones. Sas fiaccas fin istadas atzesas apposta propriu cando su ‘entu fit incomintzende a sulare. Un’istrategia qui ammànniat su podere destruttivu de su fogu a qui est horamai intro ‘e su DNA de sos qui pònen fogu. Unu macchìne ind’un’isula beneditta dae una natura particularmente benevola, in ue però, ogni annu si piànghen lagrimas de chisjìna cando bènit su momentu de contare sos dannos de sos fogos.
