Dangerous incident in Birkenfeld: THW ensures security for breathing air bottles

Birkenfeld, Deutschland - The Subjecting of the Technical Relief Agency (THW) from Idar-Oberstein was called for a critical assignment in Birkenfeld on Tuesday afternoon. The fire brigade had asked for support after several breathing air bottles with defective valves were discovered during routine control. These bottles, which weigh several kilos and contain pressure under pressure, represent a considerable security risk.

According to the THW spokeswoman, it is crucial to act quickly to prevent possible explosions. The defective valves were successfully removed in a controlled explosive process, so that the danger could be banned. The use illustrates the importance of security controls in fire materials and the rapid reaction of the emergency services in critical situations, such as on www.rhein-zeitung.de described .
