What happened

A gas leak in Turin, in Borgo Dora, caused the evacuation of two buildings. A total of 250 people were involved. The firefighters of the NBCR group, the technicians of Italgas and the local police were engaged in efforts to ensure the safety of the site. The gas leak was allegedly the result of a broken pipe caused by a scraper of a company engaged in an intervention on the water supply that damaged a gas pipeline, resulting in a dispersion. No evidence of damage to property or persons.
