Sassari, December 28, 2020 – UN fireman is dead amazed this morning in Sassarese, a Nulvi. Tonello Scanu, 54, received an electric shock during a intervention for security of a pole, which had detached due to the strong wind that at these hours blows throughout the area, accompanied by a torrential rain. The 54-year-old deputy foreman, who served in the provincial command of the Sassari fire department, was originally from Ossi, a town near Sassari, and left his wife and children behind.
” The accident took place in the Nulvi camp, during the intervention for the securing from an unsafe power line pole, ” explained Fernando Cordella, president of the Anppe Fire Department. “On many occasions,” he added, “given the continuous adverse weather conditions, which involve firefighters on a daily basis, we are forced to work in extreme conditions for the protection of citizens, so we ask for an immediate response on the issue of prevention of the territory and infrastructures, so that residual operational risks are always minors and allow first responders to work in complete safety. ”
The Department of Civil Protection expressed its condolences for the disappearance of the firefighter in a note. “By offering the most sincere condolence to the relatives for the serious loss, “the statement reads,” the Head of the Department, Angelo Borrelli, renews his esteem and gratitude for all those who daily contribute to the protection of the territory and especially to the protection of human lives including at the risk of his own. “Even the Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese, expressed his condolences to the policeman’s family: “I am close to all the women and men of the National Fire Department – said the minister – for the very serious loss of a colleague on duty, thanking once again his valuable activity in the service of the citizenship in various emergencies in the territories, which they carry out with professionalism and sacrifice, even putting their personal safety at risk ”.
Meanwhile, the Sassari Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation, entrusted to the carabinieri, to know the dynamics of the work accident and ainternal fire department investigation who will prepare a report on the technical aspects of the intervention, which resulted in the fatal injury. According to the first reconstructions, Scanu was hooked to a power line cable that, due to the wind and bad weather that hit the Sassari area at this time, had detached from the pole and was occupying the edge of the road. It seems that the deputy head of the team was cutting the cable and now it will be necessary to find out if it was due to inexperience, the meteorological conditions that made the operation difficult or if there were other causes. Meanwhile, the body was transferred to Sassari, to the forensic pathology institute for autopsy.
