Emergency Response: Cordon Removed on Wensum Close, Oakham, Following Gas Cylinder Scare
Residents of Wensum Close in Oakham, Rutland, were disturbed by an unexpected sight this evening as Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service implemented a significant cordon around the area. Early reports from the scene indicate that emergency services are actively dealing with a gas cylinder located within a van parked at the front of a residential property.
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service crews swiftly responded to the incident, establishing a safety perimeter to ensure the protection of the public and to allow them to safely assess and manage the potential hazard. The presence of a gas cylinder in such a close proximity to homes understandably prompted a cautious and thorough approach from the emergency responders.
At this time, there have been no reports of injuries to any individuals, which is a significant relief for the community. The swift action of the fire service in establishing the cordon and initiating their protocols appears to have effectively contained the situation.
