REUTERS: Wildfires on the Italian island of Sardinia forced the evacuation of residents on Saturday (July 13) in Tortolì, as the flames reached campsites and private houses.

Fire-fighters battled flames fanned by strong winds in Sardinia dropping water over the burning vegetation with Canadair planes and helicopters. Smoke could be seen from miles away. Wildfires are common during Italy’s dry and hot summers.
