Events such as the explosion that occurred a few days ago in a business in Lezha, which was severely damaged by gas, are not isolated cases. The use of liquefied gas for heating or cooking continues to be a source of danger if safety rules are not respected.
Unlike ordinary fires, incidents caused by gas leaks escalate in a matter of seconds and often have serious consequences.
Security expert, Shkëlqim Goxhaj, emphasizes the importance of using safe equipment and avoiding dangerous practices.
"Safe cylinders should be chosen. They should not be refilled with autogas, as they are for cars. And they should be placed on balconies, not indoors, " he tells "TCH".
He warns especially about orange canisters: "They are camping canisters and should not be refilled because they do not offer safety."
In the case of businesses, gas storage should be done outside the premises and at a safe distance. Also, ventilating the premises before starting work is an essential step to avoid risks.
Regarding emergency situations, the expert advises immediate reaction: "If we find that there is a gas leak, we should ventilate the environment and then notify the emergency services. Detectors that give a signal can be used to detect leaks."
However, compared to previous years, the number of incidents caused by gas has decreased, indicating an increase in citizen awareness of its safe use.
