Large deployment in Waldheim: sewage treatment plant deactivated under high pressure!

On Saturday evening there was a greater commitment in the Rauschenthal sewage treatment plant near Waldheim, which brought tensions for the fire brigade and many residents. The police were alerted around 8:15 p.m. after a defective line had led to the expiry of sewage slag in the basement. The situation required a quick action, since there was a lot of methane in the air, which only allowed work in the affected areas with breathing protection and explosion -protected devices.

When the emergency services arrived, they were faced with the challenge of dealing with the damage. Voluntary fire brigades from Waldheim, Richzenhain, Reinsdorf and Döbeln were involved in the operation, as were the district's dangerous goods. Together they carried out measurements and cleaning work. A fan was used to stabilize the situation. The majority of the slag was successfully removed and the affected rooms could be released. After around three hours the operation was successfully completed, and there was never a danger to the residents.

The incident in Waldheim is not the only one of its kind. On Friday afternoon there was a similar accident in the sewage treatment plant in the district of Verden. There was a greater exit of sewage sludge from a lazy container in the basement area. Here, too, the fire brigade had to move with extensive forces. Several high -performance cleaning water pumps from the Technical Relief Agency (THW) were needed to stabilize the location. At peak times, the emergency services promoted several thousand liters of sewage sludge per minute to prevent large -scale exit on the site. The fire brigade spokesman Dennis Köhler commented: "We still have a long night before us". Weser Kurier reports About the extensive measures that were taken to prevent danger.
