Municipal Building in Mendena Forced Evacuation - Clearing Report: Mendener City Hall
In an unexpected turn of events, the town hall in Menden, Sauerland, has been evacuated following the health issues experienced by one of its employees.
The incident, which is currently being managed by a special unit from Dortmund, was reportedly triggered by the distribution of mail. A woman employee, who has not been identified as of yet, reported experiencing respiratory irritation and skin redness after handling the mail.
Upon investigation, emergency services found a low dose of an irritant substance, commonly used in pesticides, in the mail. The most likely explanation for the health issues is an allergic reaction to this substance.
The woman was immediately taken to the hospital by the emergency services, and the police have been informed about the situation. The fire department also initiated an ABC alarm as a precautionary measure.
The exact nature of the health issues and their cause are not yet specified, but the initial belief is that they were caused by the distributing of the contaminated mail.
The incident is ongoing, and the town hall remains evacuated. The special unit from Dortmund is working diligently to ensure the safety of the community and to determine the source of the irritant substance.
The public is advised to stay informed and follow updates from the local authorities regarding the situation in Menden town hall. Our thoughts are with the affected employee during this challenging time.
