Huge oil pollution on L537: Emergency services fight chaos!

edt near Lambach - a massive oil chaos put the L537 Sattledter Straße between Sattledt and EDT at Lambach on Thursday afternoon, February 20, 2025. First, the emergency services were alerted because it was thought that it was manure that had contaminated the street. However, it quickly turned out that the oil loss extended over a whole route of 13 kilometers, which ensured intensive use of the police and fire brigade, like Fireworld.at reported.

The affected communities - Edt near Lambach, Fischlham, Sattledt and Steinerkirchen - had to adjust to the road that was severely restricted. Four fire departments competed together against the dangerous location, and binders and sweeping machines were used to remove the harmful oil residues. During this time -consuming campaign, warning signs were set up to make drivers aware of the risk. According to the chairman of the environmental committee, Johann Grausgruber (FPÖ), the contamination was so serious that even after the clean -up work, damage to the road remained visible. "I saw the huge contamination myself - it is incomprehensible to me how to lose so much oil," he said, as well as MeinDZIRK.AT

intensive cleaning work required

The L537 Sattledter Straße remained difficult to pass throughout the entire use. The fire brigade fought passionately against the spread of the oil, and for the affected residents it was a tense-situative challenge to cope with the circumstances. The incident once again illustrates the risk of oil pollution in road traffic and its far -reaching consecutive effects on the security and traffic situation in the region.
