According to some witnesses, a first explosion occurred around midnight, followed by a second one – the one that caused the collapse of the structure and the death of the fire brigade – towards 2 am.

PAINFUL HYPOTHESIS
What happened in the farmhouse? The first truth is of the companions of the three dead firefighters. There is an audio by a firefighter who tells the tragedy live. "I am in contact with a boy who is in Alexandria and is able to get immediate information, among other things he was on duty with one of these guys. Unfortunately, the third was found now and he didn't make it either. The saddest and most serious thing is that they found the triggers and it would seem that it is a premeditated thing with multiple explosions just as they were intervening ».

In short, someone would have filled the gas cylinder farm, with the intention of breaking it down, triggering the fire that caused the explosion of the cylinders.

So many. Too many to be left there simply to rot. "We are examining the findings we found – the prosecutor continued – we are digging through the rubble we found a timer and a gas cylinder that was seized and all this makes us think that the explosion was deliberately and deliberately determined". Cieri then added there were more intervals explosions. "Now we must continue with the investigations we are working to understand who and what caused this tragedy," he added.
