A mother and daughter were injured in a gas cylinder explosion in a home in Plovdiv before noon today. The incident occurred in the "Trakia" district in an apartment on the fourth floor of a residential building while the two women were preparing food.
Fire and emergency medical teams were immediately dispatched to the scene. Medics examined the injured, with the older woman requiring more serious treatment. The explosion caused material damage, mainly broken windows in the apartment.
The Regional Directorate for Fire Safety and Population Protection – Plovdiv reminds that the use of gas cylinders in home conditions carries serious risks. Specialists emphasize that even a small propane-butane leak can lead to the formation of an explosive mixture, which can ignite from the smallest spark.
