TERAMO – Fear this afternoon, around 5 pm, in via San Marino right near the roundabout of the former Promenade due to the fire of a house.
An apartment on the third floor of an apartment building, in which a 77-year-old woman lives, caught fire most likely due to a short circuit developed by the kitchenette. The flames in a very short time spread to the room and to the external balcony, making them visible even at a great distance from the area of the stake.
The immediate intervention of the firefighters with fire engine and ladder truck made it possible to enter from the inside with personnel equipped with respirators and from the outside with the staircase: the flames were immediately spent and the room reclaimed, limiting damage to the blackening of other rooms in the apartment and the destruction of some household appliances. While other condominiums for safety reasons are moving away from the building, help was given to the elderly owner of the house, slightly intoxicated by the smoke that also invaded the entrance hall of the stairs.
However, a transfer to the hospital was not necessary for her. Via San Marino, which is the main access to the Mazzini hospital from the center and from the north-west of the city, was closed to traffic for almost two hours. Only around 19. the situation returned to normal and the residents of the condominium were able to return to their apartments.
