Série d’explosions aux HLM Grand-Yoff : Une fourgonnette de gaz en feu provoque la panique
This Saturday morning, a series of explosions rocked the Grand-Yoff housing project and its surrounding area, caused by a fire in a van transporting gas cylinders. According to Le Soleil Digital, the vehicle caught fire while its three occupants were still inside, one of whom suffered minor burns to his shoulder. It all started when a technical malfunction led the driver to open the hood to identify the problem, unintentionally triggering the fire during a maneuver.
Witnesses at the scene reported that a gas cylinder was thrown from the vehicle by the force of the explosion, fortunately without causing any injuries. While the occupants were able to escape in the nick of time, the van was completely destroyed by the flames.
A first team of firefighters, who arrived quickly, struggled to control the blaze despite the massive use of fire-fighting foam, and were forced to withdraw due to intermittent explosions. A second team, equipped with more advanced equipment, finally contained the blaze more than an hour later, leaving behind a charred wreck.
The incident occurred near the Aminata Mbaye Center for Mentally Disabled Children, the health center nicknamed the "American Hospital," and the Grand-Yoff City Hall's civil registry center, heightening concerns in the neighborhood. An investigation is underway to determine the exact causes of this fateful outage.

Une usine à gaz dans un quartier residentiel .
Personne ne dit rien j'usqu'au jour où ça va petter.
quand les citernes viennent remplir les cuves, l'odeur du carburant qui est dans l'air, ( on peut la sentir même dans nos habitations aux alentours!!), les voitures en train de prendre du carburant, tout est inflammable, etc etc
va--t- on attendre l'irréparable un jour pour dire on le savait ?
Mais C quoi ça? L’enquête pour déterminer la panne ou voir dans quelle mesure de tels accident ne se répètent plus?
