fear due to a short circuit

Flames and black smoke from a garage facing the street: fear and general stampede. It happened in the early hours of the afternoon in the Primo Vico Abolitomonte area, close to Via Roma and the shopping streets of Greek’s tower.

According to initial testimonies, the residents of number 49 were the first to notice the fire, where the small garage is also located where, most likely due to a short circuit, the fire started and then enveloped the vehicles and equipment. other objects present.

The acrid smell coming from the lower part convinced first the residents of the building and then those of the nearby buildings to abandon their homes and pour into the street. Fear also due to the presence of a gas cylinder shop nearby, which fortunately was not touched. Following various reports, they arrived on site two fire engines and police cars. Having closed off the area to passage, the firefighters first started the procedures to put out the fire and then made the things considered most at risk safe.

Only subsequently will checks on the safety of the properties involved begin. “They tell us that inside the garage – says a girl from the area – there would have been an electric car and it is highly probable that everything could have started from this car”. «We were so scared – adds a woman – and in the end we only thought about saving our loved ones and pets. We hope to be able to return to our homes soon.”
