A man was slightly burned this evening in Cala Gonone in the fire caused by a gas leak in his home.

The alarm went off after 4pm . The fire, presumably started due to a malfunction in a gas appliance, spread inside the kitchen, also involving the LPG cylinder that powered the appliance.

Once they arrived on site, the fire brigade team took steps to extract the cylinder and put out the flames, containing the damage which could have been much more serious.

The homeowner was immediately rescued and entrusted to the care of 118 staff for minor burns.
