Varaždin: Explosion during oxygen flow caused fire, injured worker

A fire broke out at a company in Varaždin on Thursday after an explosion occurred during the transfer of oxygen from a large gas cylinder to a smaller one. The incident resulted in injuries to a 24-year-old employee, who suffered burns to his hands and legs. The police reported that the explosion was caused by a plastic hose rupture in the gas transfer station, leading to ignition of flammable materials around the gas cylinders. Firefighters from the Public Fire Department of Varaždin and four volunteer fire brigades extinguished the blaze, which spread to nearby properties and damaged wooden tools, vegetation, sunbeds, and other items. Emergency medical teams provided aid on-site, but the extent of the worker’s injuries remains undetermined.
