A fire broke out at the “Don Chendi” middle school gym in Tresigallo, causing extensive damage to the building. The incident, which started from a short circuit in the electrical system, occurred just before midnight and quickly spread to the furnishings and windows of the gym.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and neighboring buildings were not affected by the flames. The firefighters arrived at the scene promptly, working tirelessly to bring the situation under control by 3:30 in the morning. Despite their efforts, the gym suffered significant damage, rendering it unusable for normal activities for the foreseeable future.
The Carabinieri were called to investigate the cause of the fire, while the deputy mayor of Tresigallo, Maurizio Barbirati, supervised the operations on behalf of the municipality. The school, which is used by students and various sports associations in the area, will now have to assess the extent of the damage and make plans for restoration.
Overall, while the incident was a setback for the “Don Chendi” middle school, the quick response of emergency services ensured that the situation did not escalate further. The community is now coming together to support the school and its students during this challenging time.
