Fire at Baumgarten gas hub in Austria now extinguished
The fire at the Baumgarten gas hub in Austria has now been extinguished, Gas Connect Austria said in a press release.
An explosion occurred on Tuesday morning before 9:00 a.m. on the grounds of the Baumgarten Natural Gas Station. One person was killed and 18 injured in the accident.
"The plant was shut down in a controlled state and is offline. The cause of the accident remains unclear; we are currently assuming it was a technical fault. Gas Connect Austria is already intensively investigating the potential causes of the incident. Austria's natural gas supply can be covered for the foreseeable future.
