Owner of the house is injured in critical condition in hospital in Brazil.
She had 80% of body burned in an explosion on Monday.

Only the report of expertise will confirm the cause of the explosion early on Monday (11) in a house in the south of Sao Paulo, but the most likely hypothesis is that it was caused by a gas leak. The hose was out of date for more than a decade, according to Civil Defense. The health status of the owner of the house is very serious.

The lack of attention to one very important detail may have been decisive in the explosion. "The validity of the hose is five years. She is 13 years overdue. The maturity it was 1996, "says the executive coordinator of Civil Defense, Francisco Martins Rodrigues.

Mary daughter Theodora, 42, was in the kitchen when the accident happened. Emerson, the younger son, had just left. "As I closed the gate, she was making coffee on the stove, I heard the explosion," said the young man. Maria suffered third degree burns on 80% of the body. The other her son, who was upstairs in the house when the roof collapsed, had minor injuries.

According to the Fire Department, nearly all accidents with cooking gas occur because of inattention or mistakes in the handling of the cylinder and even the stove. Therefore, some care is very important. The cylinder must have label, security seal and can not be wrinkled. At the time of exchange, the valve should be closed at all times.

To make sure that there is no leak, the tip is over a soapy sponge around the valve. "If there is any leakage, we will see the formation of bubbles," said Lieutenant Michael Jodas, a spokesman for the Fire Department. The hose must have seal of certification and validity. If the deadline has expired, it dries and cracks may appear.

The award of expertise about the cause of the accident must be completed in 30 days. The house hit by the explosion was interdicted. The children of Mary, who is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Hospital of Guarulhos, will stay temporarily with relatives.
