One person died and 33 were injured in two explosions at an LPG filling station in Crevedia, near Bucharest, Romania, this Saturday.
After the first explosion, the fire spread to two tanks and a neighboring house, causing an evacuation within a radius of 300 meters and blocking traffic, according to the Agency for Emergency Situations (IGSU).
About 25 fire engines were involved in extinguishing the fire, IGSU said. According to the Ministry of Health, four people were intubated after severe burns.
The second explosion injured 26 firefighters, Deputy Interior Minister Raed Arafat, who heads the emergency response unit, told reporters.
Arafat said the fire had not yet been extinguished and that more explosions could occur as the third tank was still a danger.
