Major operation in Wolfratshausen: gas pipe damaged and evacuation!
On Monday morning around 11 a.m. there was a serious incident on a company premises in Eichenweg in Wolfratshausen. A gas pipe was damaged during excavation work, which resulted in a large-scale deployment by the fire brigade. The situation required quick action, so the police and fire departments from Wolfratshausen and Weidach responded with a total of eight vehicles and more than 40 emergency services. [Süddeutsche] reports on the rapid reactions of the emergency services.
Eichenweg was immediately closed to ensure the safety of residents. As part of the measures, the company building and adjacent residential buildings were evacuated. Emergency doctors and other rescue workers were available to respond immediately in an emergency. An emergency vehicle and two ambulances had been brought into position - safety precautions that are essential in the event of a gas accident, as [Sanitär-Express] emphasizes.
All-clear and damage settlement
Fortunately, there were no injuries in the incident. The all-clear was finally given around 12 p.m. The measuring devices no longer showed critical values and the evacuees were allowed to return to their homes. The municipal utilities closed the affected gas pipe during the operation to avoid further danger. The estimated material damage amounts to around 1,500 euros. According to [Merkur], a specialist company has already been commissioned to carry out the repairs in order to restore the gas supply as quickly as possible.
The incident once again illustrates the importance of effective emergency management. In such a case, immediate evacuations and closing the main gas line are crucial to prevent further leaks and potentially serious consequences, according to [Sanitär-Express]. Every household should therefore familiarize themselves with emergency plans and appropriate safety measures.
Overall, the fire brigade prevented anything worse from happening by acting quickly and the residents in Wolfratshausen can breathe a sigh of relief. Great praise goes to the emergency services who are always ready to do their best to protect citizens.
