Potential Danger from Overheating: Leak of Hazardous Materials at Karlsruhe Cargo Station
In an unexpected turn of events, a tanker truck filled with gasoline leaked an unspecified quantity of hazardous material at Karlsruhe's freight station on Wednesday evening at approximately 6 p.m. The exact cause of the leak remains unknown.
The incident prompted immediate action, with the DB AG's emergency control center alerting the fire department and police. A 300-meter radius cordoned-off area was established around the site due to the high temperatures posing a significant risk of explosion. The cordoned-off area included the freight station, several nearby streets, and the South Tangent.
The fire department conducted thorough measurements to rule out any risk of explosion. The leak was eventually contained using a tray, and it was sealed by tightening a valve. Following the fire department's safety checks, the incident site was reopened. However, the cordoned-off area was not mentioned as having been lifted after the incident site was reopened.
It's important to note that the specific type of hazardous material involved in the leak remains unspecified. Hazardous material tanker leaks at freight stations, often resulting from traffic accidents, mechanical failure, or improper handling, can cause environmental contamination, health risks due to toxic exposure, disruption of transport services, and emergency evacuation or containment measures.
