Massive Wildfires in the Italian Sardinia island's western coast have spread by nearly 20,000 hectares in the past three days, according to domestic reports.

Responding to this disaster, Italian authorities have deployed a number of firefighting personnel and several pieces of equipment as well as members of the federal paratrooper firefighting service to fight the fires.

Meanwhile, France and Greece each sent two planes to Sardinia to help tame fires that swept across Sardinia island's cities.

The latest local reports said that hundreds of Italian families have been ordered to evacuate, including 1,500 people, who lost their homes in the wildfires that destroyed parts of Oristano province.

On the other hand, international media released on Monday a dramatic video revealing massive fires burning in the houses of the fabulous island.

The video of the wildfires shows red flames tearing through the Italian forests, razing trees, and producing large plumes of smoke.
