There will be a mighty bang on the Sedel in Lucerne on Thursday evening! Several detonations can be heard in the Sedelstrasse region on the Emmen side. This reports «central plus». The explosions are followed by a large fire – bright red flames can be seen from afar. The incident happened around 7:15 p.m.
Blick readers are also observing the phenomenon. “I must have heard three explosions,” said a reader reporter. Shortly thereafter the sirens sounded. The Blick reader was at the Emmenbrücke LU train station at the time.
The cause and extent of the fire are still unclear. According to another reader reporter who had alerted the fire brigade, gas bottles had exploded. As “Zentralplus” writes, there are more than ten emergency vehicles from the fire brigade and the police at the scene. Markus Portmann of the fire brigade of the city of Lucerne confirmed the operation. There had been a major fire report from the Ibach on Reusseggstrasse – a shed was on fire. Firefighters at the scene had the fire under control. (dzc)
