Mohammadi: No explosion of gas caused by a report of sabotage

According to Mehr News Agency, Qadirullah Mohammadi, director of the Tehran Fire Department, said that in recent days questions and ambiguities have been formed in the minds of citizens about the increase in accidents, especially the explosion of the gas cause, saying: “I would like to explain with complete transparency what the reality is.” On average, in normal and normal conditions, about 3 incidents and safety services in Tehran are recorded in our system, about 2 of which are fire and fire. Many of these events may be hidden from the public point of view because of the high workload and volume of work.

Mohammadi, referring to the statistics of gas accidents in recent years, added: In year 2, 5 cases of gas explosion in Tehran were recorded, with an average of two incidents a month. The figure has increased in year 2 and has reached 2. Also since the beginning of the year, seven cases of gas explosions have occurred in Tehran, all of which have been managed and controlled by fire forces.

He said about the main reasons for the incidents: Most of these explosions are due to gas leakage in worn -out equipment, the use of non -standard gas -fired equipment, and disregard for safety principles. One of the most frequent factors is the use of old gas hoses that should be replaced after a specified period of time, but this does not happen. On the other hand, some gas supplies, such as gas samovars, lack thermocouple; The thermocouple If the flame is shut down, it must automatically cut off the gas flow. In its absence, the gas is gradually spread to the environment and with a small spark it can lead to explosion.

The director of the Tehran Fire Department, referring to an example of the incident, said: In one of the recent cases in Qom, a family that had returned from the trip midnight has used a gas furniture. Unfortunately, the flame of the machine has been extinguished, but the gas flow has continued. The gas accumulated in the home in the morning and in the morning, the explosion occurred by turning on the electricity key and leading to family injuries.

Mohammadi continued: A similar case was recorded in Tehran on May 5, one day before the recent air strikes. The incident was also the cause of the explosion, carelessness and failure to adhere to the principles of safety in the use of gas equipment.

He emphasized the importance of technical awareness in the use of electrical and gas equipment: issues such as electricity and gas are very sensitive technical issues. If the citizens are not aware of the knowledge, they should not personally repair or review at all. In such cases, expert experts should be invited to take the necessary safety measures. In a recent incident, the owner of the home has been completely unauthorized testing gas leaks with lighter, which led to an explosion.

At the end, Mohammadi, rejecting any connection between these incidents and security or sabotage issues, said: “I emphasize that there has been no report of gas explosion in Tehran or other cities caused by sabotage or war -related cities.” Given the extensive communication we have with other provinces and the responsibility we have as the head of the country's fireworks, all of these incidents have so far been due to technical problems, lack of safety and negligence.
