An explosion with subsequent fire took place this morning inside a house in Sant'Urbano (Padua) due to a probable gas leak.
A mother died and two children and the father were injured.
The explosion took place just before 8. When the firefighters arrived, who had come from Este, Rovigo and Padua, the father with the two children was already outside the house.
Rescue teams began extinguishing operations, while other operators equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus entered the house, finding the woman who was taken out.
Despite the help, the doctor had to declare his death.
