A 12-year-old boy is in serious condition and has been admitted to the intensive care unit of the Regina Margherita children's hospital with burns on 30% of his body . A six-year-old girl is also hospitalized in the same hospital, in good condition, and is being kept under observation as a precaution.
At the Cto in Turin, a 19-year-old girl has already been discharged, who was given a prognosis of seven days. In the next few hours, a 45-year-old woman will also be discharged with a ten-day prognosis, and a 24-year-old boy, who was given a 21-day prognosis.
According to rescue workers , the fire — which broke out following an explosion, the causes of which are still being ascertained — developed in an attic on the top floor of a building . In addition to the attic, two apartments were also involved. The roof of the building collapsed.
Some fallen debris damaged several cars parked on the street.
