Sardinia fires destroy multiple vehicles in Assemini and Elmas

Two separate vehicle fires occurred in the province of Cagliari, Sardinia, within a 24-hour period.

Firefighters from the Cagliari Provincial Command responded to the alarm around 4:20 AM on Friday, October 16, 2026. While the two vehicles were completely destroyed, crews prevented the flames from spreading to nearby vegetation and other parked cars. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

In Elmas, a large fire broke out at a FedEx logistics warehouse on Thursday night. Emergency teams arrived at the industrial zone around 10:45 PM, battling flames that destroyed eleven vans parked in the warehouse yard. Firefighters managed to contain the blaze, preventing it from consuming the entire facility, though the building's facade and loading areas sustained damage. No injuries were reported, and authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause.
