SHOCK IN THE OUTDOOR POOL: Chlorine gas leak triggers MASSIVE fire department evacuation!
In a SHOCKING TURN, a DRAMATIC situation occurred today in the Nürtingen outdoor pool that terrified residents and outdoor pool visitors! On Wednesday morning, July 16, 2025, an unimaginable CHLORGAS gas leak occurred while employees were performing a routine procedure to change chlorine gas cylinders! [esslinger-zeitung] reports that the alarm systems went off at 9:15 a.m. and the fire department and police were immediately mobilized!
The mission was not for the faint of heart! The emergency services arrived with an impressive team of 20 firefighters to check the dangerous situation. The DRAMATIC circumstances caught everyone's attention as firefighters tried to tame the potentially life-threatening gases in the air. INCREDIBLY enough, there was no need to evacuate the outdoor pool and, fortunately, the bathers who were on the premises during the incident were not in any real danger at any time.
The most important facts at a glance
- Alarmzeit: 9:15 Uhr – SCHOCKIERENDER Gasaustritt löst Alarm aus!
- Einsatzkräfte: 20 tapfere Feuerwehrleute im Einsatz!
- Evakuierung: Keine nötig – QUELLE des Schreckens bleibt unklar!
- Betrieb: Freibad konnte nach dem erschütternden Vorfall fortgesetzt werden!
Despite the DRAMATIC circumstances, operations at the outdoor pool were able to continue immediately as planned. A silver lining, however, the CAUSE of this gas leak remains a mystery. What could have caused the danger to bathers and staff? Questions that still need unanswered answers!
A potential danger that should never be underestimated!
But that's not all! A comparison with another CHLORGAS incident that took place on July 9, 2025 in the St. Martin im Innkreis outdoor swimming pool, Upper Austria, gives a true idea of the extent of these dangers. At that time, at 5 a.m., a gas detector was alerted and SIX fire departments with over 100 firefighters in full protective gear had to respond to the gas leak! [5min.at]
The massive protective measures that were taken there reveal the immense risk associated with a chlorine gas leak. Professional decontamination, large-scale barriers and the technical know-how of specially trained troops were essential to bringing the situation under control. Worse things were prevented in Nürtingen - but how long will the luck last?
The memory of the revision of DIN 19606 in January 2020, which was created precisely for such critical situations, hovers like a shadow over the outdoor pool. This regulation requires a careful risk assessment to be carried out before making changes to chlorine gas systems. But is this regulation already a guarantee of safety? Security that could be bought at a cruel price? [dguv.de]
