MONTEGROTTO – The attic completely destroyed, extensive damage to the ground floor and the house declared unsafe by firefighters. These are the consequences of the grave fire to a house in via Enrico Fermi 1, on the slopes of the Villa Draghi hill, which has hired firefighters from the Abano Terme and Padua detachments for eight hours since last night.
THE HISTORY
Fortunately, the tenants of the chalet, l ‘hotelier He saw Turlon, renowned businessman from the spa area and owner of the Salus hotel in Abano, his wife and daughter. It was the latter, who awoke with a start shortly after one in the morning, to give the alarm to the parents. A circumstance that allowed the whole family to escape, running off to wait for the firefighters to arrive. According to the first investigations, carried out after the flames were extinguished, the fire was caused by the short circuit from an outlet in the attic. For the Turlon, a start to 2021 must definitely be forgotten.
“PULL US OUT OF BED”
“My daughter woke up due to the strong burning in her throat caused by the smoke that had now invaded the corridor – the hotelier, who yesterday morning moved with his relatives in the hotel in via Marzia in Abano, is still in in shock. “He left his room, immediately realized what was happening and kicked us out of bed. The attic was literally devastated. Inside were almost all of my wife’s clothes, some suitcases and some books. We called 115 and we ran away. The firefighters from Abano arrived in a few minutes. Fortunately, their headquarters are only a few hundred meters away. Immediately afterwards the ones from Padua arrived. ” “Everything is to be redone,” Turlon continues disconsolately. “The heat even blew away the floor tiles and a chandelier. The plaster on the walls has collapsed. My wife is left with four dresses. Although I pump them up. The rivers managed to prevent the flames from spreading to the rest of the house, even so it was declared unsafe. We couldn’t avoid transferring to our hotel. At the moment it is impossible to say how much the damages amount, but they are certainly enormous. Much tried by a night of anguish and tension, Elvio Turlon still welcomes the good luck: “When our daughter woke us up, the fire had already destroyed the attic. Otherwise, if we had continued sleeping, I think it would have taken another ten minutes, a quarter of an hour at the most, and now we would not be here to tell what happened. ”
INTERVENTION UNTIL THE MORNING
The extinction operations of the Abano and Padua firefighters ended around 9 a.m. yesterday. In addition to the fire trucks, the tank car was also sent to Via Fermi with the replacement of the autonomous breathing apparatus for the teams. Therefore, the whole area has been made safe but, as mentioned, the cabin will remain out of the family’s reach for a long time. Evidently, the intervention of the firefighters was followed with apprehension by the residents of the neighboring houses, frightened by the possibility that the flames would also spread to their homes. And that only after several hours were they able to breathe a sigh of relief at the narrow escape. The carabinieri from the Montegrotto Terme station are also on site.
