A woman was transferred to the Molina Orosa Hospital after an explosion occurred in her home on Guadalajara Street in Arrecife on Monday afternoon. 

After being alerted at around 8:53 p.m., the firefighters went to the house, where there was a large accumulation of gases. According to the Security and Emergency Consortium, the fire affected a television, already extinguished, which was taken outside due to the presence of gases. 

In addition, the firefighters opened the windows of the stairwell and the door to the roof terrace. All the levers on the electrical panel were up and the TV was already disconnected. 

According to the Consortium, "the lady of the house was somewhat disoriented and confused", so the firefighters attended to her until the arrival of the ambulance, "which took her to the hospital."
