The incident occurred at the intersection of Aguer and Reconquista. Naturgy staff works on site.
At least two people were injured this Thursday after a explosion followed by fire in a neighborhood of the Buenos Aires district of San Martin.
The incident occurred shortly after 1 pm at the Aguer and Reconquista intersectionand two teams of volunteer firefighters from the area went to the scene.
According to the testimony of neighbors, Operators were carrying out drilling in the street, when they apparently affected a gas master pipe.
The incident was alerted to emergencies and, consequently, the personnel of the Naturgy Emergency Care Center were notified and are already working on site to solve the leak.
As they explained, what caused the perforation was the depth at which the damaged pipe was located: It was 40 centimeters away when the norm is for it to be 80 centimeters away..
After arriving at the area of the incident, Naturgy employees began to dig wells to choke the pipes and stop the gas from flowing. “You cannot close the master key because it is dangerous,” they warned from the municipality.
Civil Defense, Emergency Medical Service, traffic and Citizen Protection also intervene in the area.
