Burning at the fuel station in Viale Marconi: a stolen waste collection vehicle as a trigger

The damage caused by the fire that broke out last night in the Esso service station in Viale Marconi in Cagliari, in front of the former Videolina headquarters, is very serious.

According to an initial reconstruction, it would be an arson attack. A stolen garbage collection vehicle would have been used as a trigger, which was set on fire, which quickly engulfed one of the fuel pumps, the crate, the internal bar and a mechanical workshop.

Il rogo nella notte alla stazione Esso di viale Marconi a Cagliari

Sono intervenuti i Vigili del fuoco con 15 operatori

Ingenti i danni

Coinvolti una delle pompe per l’erogazione del carburante, la cassa, il bar interno e un’officina meccanica

La matrice sarebbe dolosa

Come innesco sarebbe stato usato un mezzo per la raccolta dei rifiuti rubato

I Vigili del fuoco hanno lavorato con molte squadre

The damage is very serious. Firefighters worked with many teams to put out the blaze, as an explosion would have been devastating at a gas station.

The agents of the flying squad of the Cagliari police headquarters also intervened.
