A gas explosion occurred in an apartment in Sevran (Seine-Saint-Denis), Saturday November 16, 2024. The accommodation was heavily damaged but the occupants, a couple and three children, escaped almost unscathed, reports The Parisian . Only one person was injured in the face, but his life is not in danger.
A possible failure of the gas stove
The events occurred in the afternoon in a T4 located on the 11th floor of a building. The victims were all hospitalized for check-ups, our colleagues specify. On site, “significant material damage” were rescued by emergency services. A fire also started, but it was brought under control in time by the firefighters, according to a police source. No other homes were affected.
A police investigation was opened to try to determine the origin of the disaster and samples were taken at the scene. It could be a failure of the gas stove, but this possibility has not yet been confirmed, indicates The Parisian. As the accommodation was now uninhabitable, the family was taken care of by the town hall for the weekend. She should soon receive a rehousing proposal from the social landlord, notes the Ile-de-France newspaper.
