A cracked gas pipeline on Ejbydalsvej in Glostrup, Denmark, triggered a rapid evacuation of nearby residences on Thursday morning. The Capital Region’s Emergency Management (Hovedstadens Beredskab) reported on social media platform X, indicating that they were actively managing the situation.
When the emergency services first reported the incident at 10:24 AM, they expressed optimism about a swift resolution to the problem. They also noted that the evacuation of homes located at Ejbydalsvej 146, 148, 150, and 172 would be brief. This prediction proved accurate, as just 16 minutes later, the emergency management team announced that the gas pipeline had been secured, and their work was complete. Consequently, the evacuation order was lifted, and residents were able to return to their homes without any further delays.
