What happened

A gas leak occurred in Forlì, Italy, necessitating the intervention of the local fire department, with the support of the CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) unit. The alarm was triggered by the report of a strong odour of the substance inside a building used for commercial activities. The deployment of equipment provided to the CBRN experts enabled the identification of the source of the dispersion in one of the wells located outside the structure. In collaboration with the staff of the Environmental Protection Agency of Emilia Romagna (ARPAE), the verification operations of the substance were concluded, excluding its dangerousness. No individuals were involved in the incident.
