An unwarranted discharge of harmful substances from a tank caused a fire department intervention at a commercial site in the Weilimdorf sector of Stuttgart. A significant quantity of the chemical substance spilled from the tank into a holding basin prepared for such situations, the fire department declared.

Work crews, partnering with the facility's administrators, transferred the hazardous substance into transport vehicles. The surplus was soaked up with an adsorption agent.

The fire department mobilized 23 units, according to a spokesperson. Emergency services were also in attendance as a preventive measure. Fortunately, there was no danger to the public.

The fire department requested a temporary withdrawal of nearby residents due to the hazardous situation. To ensure the complete removal of the chemical substance, additional rounds of adsorption agent application were planned.
