Overview

- Emergency crews from the municipal fire department and the State Unit of Civil Protection cordoned the scene, controlled risks and allowed specialist investigators access.
- Investigators found blowtorches at the site and say material inside the tanker may have gasified, and peritos are collecting evidence to determine whether heat from work, mechanical failure, or negligence caused the explosion.
