On Wednesday afternoon, a massive diesel spill at the Czech-Austrian border engaged fire departments from both countries.
Presumably, a loose manhole cover had caused a leak in the diesel tank of a truck, reported the district command Hollabrunn. The driver noticed the damage only at a parking lot near Kleinhaugsdorf in the market town of Haugsdorf.
The professional fire brigade Znojmo (Znaim) tracked the diesel trail from Czech to Austrian territory. The cross-border operation to contain the damage also involved the FF Haugsdorf and Jetzelsdorf, as well as the police and the road maintenance department Retz.
