Fifty people who had to leave their homes tonight due to the chemicals found in one of their flats in Brno could go back today. Thirty people from the
first wave of evacuation have not yet been affected. A spokesman for firefighters Jaroslav Mikoška told CTK today.
This afternoon, police in Šámalova Street in Brno are still completing the clearing of an apartment with a large amount of chemicals. Pyrotechnics
and chemists work on site, transporting hazardous substances for disposal. Part of the street therefore remains closed to traffic and pedestrians.
On Monday, according to firefighters, about thirty people had to find their chemicals from their homes, another fifty at night today. "Some residents
may already return. However, the extent of the initial evacuation remains, ie the house in which the intervention is taking place and two neighbors,
people cannot return yet," Mikoska said.
Police investigate the case thoroughly, the cause of death does not yet know the man
Officers next to the apartment where they found a dead man on Monday and a large amount of chemicals are also searching the adjacent cellar. In the
morning they expected to work on the site by noon, after which the evacuees could return home. However, there are still less hazardous substances to
be removed and disposed of. "According to the latest assumptions, the work of police officers on the spot should last until the late afternoon," said
police spokesman Bohumil Malášek.
On Monday after noon, the police closed off the street, assessed the situation as dangerous and immediately evacuated 25 people from nearby houses.
Later, according to firefighters, another six. In the night of today, another 55 were added. Some people booked a night with relatives or
acquaintances, 17 people according to firefighters used the hotel accommodation.
The police are investigating what was the cause of the death of the 42-year-old man.
