Construction site evacuated
Excavator damaged gas pipe in Oberndorf
A gas leak triggered a major operation in Oberndorf on Tuesday morning. According to the fire department, a gas pipe was damaged in the Pfaffingerweg area during excavation work. The area was cordoned off over a large area.
When the first emergency services arrived, "the hissing of the escaping gas was clearly audible", according to the report by the volunteer fire department. Previously, an excavator carrying out excavations for a new pressure boosting system for the Oberndorf water supply had torn off a gas pipe to a residential building. The construction site there was then cleared and the workers were brought to safety. While the firefighters set up fire protection, Salzburg AG technicians also arrived at the site.
They were able to quickly eliminate the danger. The damaged pipeline was then uncovered and the operation ended. In addition to two police patrols, a total of 18 members of the fire department with three emergency vehicles were on site.
