The police are now making ongoing assessments together with people with propane and gas expertise on site. – When the pipes are under the tank, we can start approaching again, says the operations manager. The police see no reason for evacuation yet, but they ask the emergency services to try to visit the scene. No private residences or other industry are within the safety distance set by the police.
