Sulfuric acid alarm in Krefeld-Uerdingen: Fire brigade in action!

A dramatic incident shook the freight station in Krefeld-Uerdingen on Tuesday afternoon! Sulfuric acid ran out of a tank car, which immediately resulted in a large -scale fire service with special equipment. Fortunately, an employee of Deutsche Bahn had the situation under control and was able to catch the dangerous liquid before reaching the ground, a fire brigade spokesman said.

The rescuers closed the affected tank car, while it was pulled to the area of the chem park, where the acidity should be processed professionally. The good news: there were no injuries and the population was never in danger. The Chempark factory fire brigade supported the emergency services on site. Another security incident was averted, and that was only thanks to quick action! More Details on the situation can be found in a recent report www.wz.de .
