The extinguishing operations continued for hours. Alone Late yesterday evening the fire that devastated the “Sa Marigosa” factory was put out, on the border between Riola and Cabras, on the road that leads to Mari Ermi. Investigations are underway to establish the causes of the fire.
The alarm went off around 6pm yesterday, when sparks would fly from a van parked in a garage which in a few seconds sparked a terrifying fire. Structure evacuated, staff still managed to get the vehicles out of the warehouses. Three teams of the Oristano firefighters arrived on site with tankers and ladder trucks and worked for over two hours to put out the fire. Only late in the evening did the situation return under control and cleanup operations began.
Two warehouses were destroyed, in one even the sheet metal roof collapsed. A warehouse connected to a packaging line was devastated: all the products would also have been lost. The conference room was also burned, while the laboratories, cold rooms and the rest of the structure appear not to have suffered serious damage. The definitive count can only be done in the next few hours but the damage is enormous.
Already four years ago the leading company in the fruit and vegetable sector had been hit hard by a fire.
