At 10:40 pm, an explosion destroyed a dwelling and damaged 13 other homes within a 200-m radius; 30 individuals were affected, 6 of whom required shelter, but the explosion produced no victims. A gas tank, whose auxiliary equipment had been damaged, was leaking. First responders secured the cistern and kept the gas leak under control in order to empty the tank, which was then removed at the police’s request. The emergency intervention lasted until 3:45 am. An unemployed father in divorce proceedings had left his residence with his children after opening three 35-kg propane bottles. The gas escaping from these bottles wound up causing this explosion. This man, who was trying to destroy his house and disappear with his children, was later found in Spain.
