Sunday peace was over in Stadtschlading (Burgenland) with a bell. An underground gas leakage was feared around noon. The main four -side had to be evacuated because of the risk of explosion. It is believed that an earth’s cable fire – days ago triggered by a lightning strike – was the cause.
Skipping and smoking at the synagogue near Stadtschlining resulted in a dramatic chain reaction on Sunday. A supposed Daktruss fire turned out to be a false alarm. “It quickly turned out to be that it was not a fire, but a dangerous incident with carbon monoxide in the sewer system. Smoke had escaped over a decline, creating the impression of a roof fire, in particular because of the proximity of the synagogue,” says the District Fire Brigade Oberwart.
40 residents in safety
The suspicion fell on a gas leaf. The head of the operations, which arrived first, recognized the situation immediately and immediately asked for the dangerous substance unit of the Pinkoeld Fire Brigade. With measuring devices, the specialists were able to determine an explosive concentration of carbon monoxide. The entire main square, including the adjacent houses, was evacuated. As a precaution, 40 residents of the adjacent buildings were brought to safety with the help of the Red Cross and the police. Electricity and gas pipes had to be paralyzed.
Brisance due to synagogue
The fire brigade has initiated extensive ventilation measures in the sewer network. The All -Lear could only be given around 3.30 p.m. And the lock of the main four -side can be lifted. The residents were allowed to go back to their houses.
With a special measuring car from the Burgenland energy, an attempt was made to find possible defects in cable and gas pipes. There was a construction company with a heavy device available for excavation work. “The incident had a special explosiveness because it took place in the vicinity of the synagogue”, which inventory four fire brigades that were used with 50 forces.
Earth Cable Fire by lightning
It is believed that a lightning strike in the violent storm on Thursday could have activated the underground cable fire, which has been hidden since then. “This can lead to carbon monoxide that has gathered in the channel,” says it. The Netzburgenland company strives for a complete clarification of the case.
