The explosion caused extensive damage to the apartment, which was partially destroyed by the collapse of the attic. The firefighters took steps to secure the area and monitor the situation to avoid further dangers.
The death of Cosimo Guarini represents a very bad event that shook the community of Carovigno. The police forces invite citizens to pay maximum attention and to report any gas leaks or malfunctions in domestic systems.
As the competent authorities point out, in the event of a gas leak it is always a good idea to open every door or window well to ensure the movement of air inside an apartment. Furthermore, it is essential not to activate any electrical source that could start any spark. Therefore, do not turn on devices or push switches in the apartment where the gas concentration is significant. When possible it is important to call the authorities so that they can intervene to make the structure affected by the gas leak safe and, possibly, activate the evacuation procedures of a building.
