Kisac: Gas Canister Explodes at Party, Fire Breaks Out
During a private celebration in a house in Kisac near Novi Sad, a gas canister exploded, sparking a fire. The man trying to close it suffered burns and inhaled smoke; his injuries are not severe.
A gas canister exploded last night, Saturday, September 26, during a private celebration in a house in Kisac, a village in the municipality of Novi Sad. The blast started a fire, and one man suffered burns and inhaled smoke.
The explosion happened inside the house where the party was being held, at the moment a man was trying to turn the valve shut on the canister. Quick thinking from the people present and a fast response from firefighters kept the damage from being worse, according to Telegraf, Nova.rs, Mondo and Kurir, all citing the 192.rs portal, which broke the story first.
All four outlets describe the same sequence of events: the explosion during the party, the fire that followed, and the swift reaction of guests and firefighters. The man was burned and breathed in smoke at the exact moment he was trying to close the canister. According to every source, his injuries are not serious.
Firefighter rescue teams, police and an ambulance crew were sent to the scene to treat the injured man and secure the area. The cause of the explosion has not yet been established, and the investigation is ongoing. None of the sources mention a suspect or say the case is being treated as a criminal matter; it is being treated as an accident whose cause still needs to be determined by expert examination.
Why Do the Reports Disagree on the Time?
The outlets that covered the story do not agree on the exact moment of the explosion. Nova.rs says its report was published at 8:22 p.m. Telegraf puts the incident at around 8:12 p.m. Mondo and Kurir give no precise time at all, both simply reporting that the party was taking place that evening.
The gap of a few minutes does not change the sequence of events, which is identical across all four sources: the canister exploded during the party, those present and the firefighters reacted quickly, and one man was hurt, though not seriously. Even though the exact timing varies, none of the outlets offers a different version of what happened or questions that the man was injured while trying to close the canister.
Accidents like this are typically examined by fire and inspection services, which determine through expert analysis whether the gas leak was caused by a faulty regulator or hose, damage to the canister itself, or improper handling. The findings of that examination are usually accompanied by an on scene report drawn up by firefighters and police. Until that examination is complete, the exact cause of the explosion in Kisac remains unknown.
