Fire in apartment in Trieste, eight-storey building evacuated

The toll of a fire that broke out on the sixth floor of the condominium in via Valmaura 57 is three people taken care of by 118 healthcare personnel and an entire eight-storey building evacuated as a precaution by the fire brigade.

The first to catch fire, around 9.30pm, was a sofa, then the flames spread to the entire apartment.

Of the three people taken into care, two, slightly intoxicated, were taken to the emergency room of Cattinara hospital for checks.

The firefighters arrived on site with two teams from the station, a ladder truck, a tanker, the team from the Muggia detachment and the guard officer, and immediately reached the apartment and began extinguishing operations.

Forced ventilation operations are also underway at this time, with the aid of motorized fans, to clear the premises of fumes and the presence of monoxide throughout the entire environment affected by the fire. Only at the end of the intervention, if the presence of monoxide is not found in the building, will the tenants, still on the street, be able to return to their respective homes.
