Moments of fear this afternoon in Alghero, following a fire that broke out in an apartment on the third floor of a building in via Lido. It involved a cylinder, used to fuel a barbecue on the terrace: gas leaked from there and started the flames.
Around 4.15pm, the fire brigade team from the local detachment intervened and managed to enter the apartment to extinguish the fire and close the affected cylinder .
As a preventive measure, due to smoke inhalation, it was necessary to take a person to the emergency room for checks . Traffic on Via Lido was interrupted to allow operators to intervene and cars were diverted towards Viale Europa or Via Don Minzoni.
