A sixty-nine-year-old man from Uta was hospitalized after burning himself while performing maintenance on a stove. The incident occurred early yesterday afternoon, when Marcello Troncia, a resident of Via Stazione, in the Bascus Argius neighborhood, was using a flammable liquid, presumably alcohol, while cleaning a stove.
He was probably tinkering with the device to get it back in working order, perhaps in anticipation of the arrival of autumn, but something must have gone wrong. During maintenance, for reasons still unclear, it appears that an accidentally ignited flame engulfed him from the hips down, causing severe burns.
The man was immediately rescued by his wife, who was assisted by his son, who arrived shortly afterward and alerted emergency services. A 118 ambulance quickly arrived on Via Stazione. Paramedics, after stabilizing the injured man and providing first aid, transported him to the Areus air rescue base in Cagliari. He was then urgently transferred by 118 helicopter to the Burns Center at the Santissima Annunziata Hospital in Sassari.
