Firefighters intervened this morning, March 31, in the locality of Priscopio, in the Zambrone area, due to a leak of LPG from a tank.
A team from the Vibo Valentia Provincial Command intervened on site, with the support of the “Porto” city detachment, which started monitoring operations for the gas leak and the first containment attempts.
Given the nature of the intervention, the support of the specialized regional NBCR (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Radiological) unit was also requested, which intervened to make the area safe. Since it was not possible to recover the residual LPG, the technicians proceeded with its disposal through controlled flaring combustion, according to the established procedures. As a precaution, the surrounding area was temporarily closed to pedestrian and vehicular traffic, to ensure the safety of citizens. The operations concluded around 3pm without further critical issues.
