Kurir/RINA reports residents' accounts from Prvomajska Street. Zarko Paunovic said a sharp smell woke the family around 01:00; at the gate it was no longer possible to breathe, so they sheltered in the basement and then left. Lucani municipality president Milija Milenkovic said firefighters and ambulance crews were already at the scene, a safety valve likely blew because of high pressure, seven people reported to the health center, four were sent to hospital, and no one was life-threateningly injured.
