Dangerous Substances Employed at Construction Site
In an unexpected turn of events, a significant incident occurred at a local plant yesterday afternoon. The incident, which involved a forklift operator damaging a container, led to a solvent leak.
The volunteer fire department from Uellendahl was the first on the scene, staffing the main fire station. They were joined by the FF Langerfeld in Barmen, which took over the duties from the Uellendahl volunteers.
Upon arrival, emergency services immediately examined two individuals on-site. One of these individuals was later taken to the hospital as a precaution. The identities of the two individuals examined by the notarial services are not specified.
The plant fire brigade, three professional fire stations, a volunteer fire department, special vehicles, and the environmental protection unit were all deployed to contain the situation. They also began conducting measurements in the canal, indicating the potential spread of the solvent.
Fortunately, throughout the operation, there was no threat to the public. Images of the incident were available, providing a clear picture of the efforts made by the emergency services to contain the leak.
Meanwhile, the FF Sonnborn was stationed at the Bayer station, ready to provide additional support if needed. The exact extent of the damage and the clean-up process are currently being assessed.
This incident serves as a reminder of the crucial role emergency services play in maintaining public safety, especially in unexpected situations such as this one.
