On Monday there were various dust explosions during lunch at a metal company in St. Georgen (Salzburg). Countless emergency services are currently on site. Water may not be used due to the metal dust and the temperatures of up to 1000 degrees.
“The situation is under control,” confirms Andreas Pitter, fire brigade commander of the “Krone”. Due to the burning magnesium fabric, only metal fire powder and special hole salt were used. “We discovered that the fire started with a filter system and then spread on a production machine,” Pitter said.
No injuries
A total of 60 Florianis from the Sankt Georgen Fire Brigade are in action. There are also police and salvation. According to the first information there were no injuries.
Now the firefighters have to wait for the temperatures to sink to the Foci. Then it will decide whether forces can be deducted. At the temperatures of approximately 1000 degrees, even metal pipes have melted.
