A line was damaged during excavation work in Gelting - and shortly afterwards the sirens wailed: gas alarm in Geretsried.

Things went smoothly.

Gelting – The sirens wailed in Geretsried on Tuesday morning.

The reason was a gas alarm in the Gelting district.

The whole thing went smoothly.

According to police, the incident happened around 9 a.m.

During excavation work on an outdoor construction site on Breitenbachstraße, a natural gas pipeline laid underground was slightly damaged.

A construction site in Gelting caused a gas alarm last year.

This resulted in a slight but steady guest exit.

The utility company was able to quickly disconnect the line and thereby prevent further gas leakage.

The line should be repaired on Tuesday.

No one was harmed by the gas leak, and the police emphasized that there was never a specific danger to the general public.
