The explosion of a jug caused a fire in a home in the Valle Azul neighborhood, south of Bariloche, yesterday after 7 p.m. In a few minutes, the fire completely destroyed the house. A man and his son were affected and had to be rushed to the Ramón Carrillo hospital.
«Rosana, the owner of the house, was in shock. It was a moment of absolute despair. She said that her husband and her oldest son were in a room and When they opened the door to warn them to come out, air came in and a flash of fire occurred.«said Penélope Usano, president of the Valle Azul neighborhood.
The accident occurred in a house located on Cascada de la Virgen street. The losses were total.
Usano commented that many neighbors came to help, but “everything happened very quickly.” «The explosion was after 7 p.m. By 8pm there was nothing. These people were among the first to come to the neighborhood. The couple lived there with two of their children; “The rest study outside,” he said.
He said that the problem in the neighborhood is that they still do not have a gas connection. «We heat ourselves with a jug and firewood. The costs are terrible and on top of that, You take all the precautions but you go to sleep to go to bed warm and you leave the bin on without knowing what can happen«He mentioned and added: «Thank God that they had passed the machine yesterday; Otherwise, the firefighters would not arrive and the entire block would burn down. They are plots of 10 by 20 meters.
Doctor Víctor Parodi, in charge of the Ramón Carrillo Hospital, explained that the two affected people entered the guard room around 8:10 p.m. «The 19-year-old young man received the first attention, with the corresponding analyzes to evaluate his condition. He had no burn injuries, just smoke inhalation. He was always lucid and was already discharged with the corresponding guidelines,” he explained.
His father, on the other hand, suffered significant burns to his face and airways and, therefore, «He was under observation in intensive care«.
