A significant fire erupted in the Gratosoglio area of Milan, Italy within a garage housing LPG tanks that exploded. The blaze, seemingly triggered by an electrical fault in one of the parked campers, inflicted substantial material damage on the vehicles. The fire created towering flames and columns of smoke that could be seen from miles away. After many hours, the firefighters succeeded in containing the blaze and began rehabilitating the area. Current reports indicate there have been no injuries or cases of intoxication.
