Ammonia-alarm in Flensburg: Fire brigade in a large-scale deployment in doctor's office!

Angelburger Straße, 24937 Flensburg, Deutschland - Flensburg - alarm level red in the city center! On Tuesday evening, around 5 p.m., the fire brigade was called for a dramatic large -scale operation. Ammonia escaped in a building on Angelburger Straße, which also houses a doctor's office. The shock came when an employee of the professional fire brigade who had an appointment there, perceived the biting smell and immediately rang the alarm bells.

Several people were still present in the affected building. The fire brigade moved in with protective suits and special measuring devices to assess the location. A low ammonia concentration was found in the stairwell, but people could stay behind the closed doors. In order to drive away the dangerous vapors, the emergency services first opened the windows in the stairwell. Thanks to these measures, the concentration fell quickly and a compressed fan was used to continue cleaning the air. Fortunately, no ammonia could be detected in the apartments and the doctor's office.

Angelburger Straße was completely closed in the area of ​​the Südermarkt, while the fire brigade did its work. However, where the ammonia smell came from is a mystery. The police have started the investigation to clarify the cause. It is positive to report that the neighboring Christmas market was not affected by the incident and happily continued.
