Fire brigade teams are on site and will remain, assured the mayor of the “Southern” region
The smell of gas and incessant noise raised the alarm this evening for residents of the “Kychuk Paris” district of Plovdiv. What’s going on is the most frequently asked question by people.
The mayor of the “South” district, Atanas Kunchev, hastened to specify that one of the gas pipes to “Helios Metal” had failed. “At the moment, the supply of blue fuel has been suspended. Fire brigade teams will remain on site as long as necessary,” explained Kunchev.
However, this does not reassure people, as they say the smell is very strong.
“I’ll just say that the sound is quite frightening,” said a resident near the accident site. According to others, the noise is like pressurized steam and booms. Residents of Pere Toshev Street claim that the smell of gas is strong.
Firefighters explained that the pressure was low and there was no way to cause an explosion. Gas supply is stopped.
This is not the first such incident in the area. In May of last year, during the replacement of pipes for the South Bypass Collector, a gas pipeline burst again, but on “Al. Stamboliyski” Blvd. Then thunder and a gas leak panicked the neighborhood.
