Overnight incidents

We had a gas drama at Symonston overnight.

Not sure what went down here.

This is at the Telstra building in Symonston.

ACT Fire & Rescue were there at around 8.15 last night investigating a smell of gas at the Telstra Building, so that’s on Faulding Street, Symonston.

Now it is my understanding that Gas was released from a fire suppression system. There was no sign of fire at any stage, but they did rush the breathing apparatus unit and hazardous materials van was onsite as well as a couple of fire pumpers.

The ambos were there too…and they did treat a woman aged in her 40's for minor eye irritation.

We had traffic drama on Long Gully Road last night….out by the tip. A two vehicle accident that could well have ended in tragedy.

They used the hydraulic gear to release one of the drivers who was trapped in her vehicle.

ACT Ambulance Service intensive care paramedics treated and transported four patients to The Canberra Hospital, all in a stable condition.

A 36-year-old female was treated for multiple fractures to her leg, a seven-month-old baby taken to hospital for observation, a 20-year-old male treated for minor injuries and neck pain and a 58-year-old male treated for fractures to both arms.

By the sounds it could have been disastrous….luckily it wasn’t.
