The air quality at the courthouse in L’Aquila remains or perhaps worsens due to the dispersion of fumes after the fire on Saturday night and action is being taken: control units have in fact been installed by Arta to monitor the situation. Even today almost everyone is in smart working and the court is banned. Today’s non-postponable hearings will be held in the separate Pile headquarters where the Unep offices where notifications of documents are managed are located.
Moreover, some employees who were sent to work in the offices in via Pile entered the offices in via XX Settembre yesterday to collect some papers to take to the hearing and found an even worse environmental situation than last Monday. “Despite wearing a mask,” says one of the people involved, “I had an unpleasant sensation in my airways that remained for a long time even though my stay in the offices was short. In our opinion the picture was worse than yesterday.”
The fire, almost certainly the result of a short circuit, damaged the server on the minus 2 floor, compromising many services. The Public Prosecutor’s Office is obviously investigating the causes of what happened and there will be an expert report by the fire brigade. The damage was limited given the immediate arrival of the fire brigade alerted by the surveillance and the alarm system.
