A Devastating Fire and Its Aftermath
La notte tra il 6 e il ha segnato una tragedia inimmaginabile per la Rsa ‘Casa dei coniugi’ di Milano, dove sei anziani hanno perso la vita a causa di un incendio. Le indagini hanno rivelato che un impianto di rilevazione dei fumi, guasto da quasi tre anni, non era mai stato sostituito.
Questo grave difetto ha sollevato interrogativi sulla sicurezza delle strutture dedicate alla cura degli anziani e sulla responsabilità di chi gestisce tali servizi.
Fire safety gaps
According to the advice of engineer Davide Luraschi, an expert in fire safety, the tragedy could have been avoided if the smoke detection system had been working. The engineer emphasized that an automatic flame extinguishing system could have saved not only the six victims, but also prevented the panic and chaos that characterized those dramatic moments. The lack of an adequate safety system highlighted the structural and organizational shortcomings of the RSA, which was unable to guarantee the protection of its guests.
Responsibility and the future of safety in RSA
The issue of safety in nursing homes has become increasingly pressing, especially in light of tragic events such as the one in Milan. The competent authorities must ask themselves how to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again. It is essential that elderly care facilities are equipped with adequate safety systems and that regular checks are carried out to verify their functioning. The lives of residents must be the absolute priority, and any gaps in safety must be filled to avoid future disasters.
