UGS Háje was the site of a well accident intervention training

Last week, a joint exercise was held at the Háje UGS facility to deal with an accident on a well with a vertical gas leak. Its main objective was to test the mutual interaction of Gas Storage CZ staff and the Integrated Rescue System units.

The exercise was attended by units of professional firefighters from the territorial department Příbram, as well as a unit of voluntary firefighters Březové Hory, representatives of the Fire and Rescue Service and the Police of the Czech Republic. In practice, the interaction between the commander of the intervention from the fire rescue service and the head of the accident liquidation was tested, as well as the functionality and capacity of the hydrant network and fire pumps in the area of the underground gas storage facility and the actuality of the related alarm plans and fire documentation.

This was a regular exercise focused on practical interventions of the integrated rescue system components specific to the operation of underground gas storage facilities. Following the relevant legislation, they are held regularly at all underground gas storage facilities.
