Nursing homes and clinics should be cared for primarily
On the other hand, the failure must go through the Sana Clinic, which is also affected, and two nursing homes. These facilities would not be evacuated, OB King promised at the noon press conference.
Mobile thermal power plants as a replacement
The first large mobile heating devices from Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, organized by N-Ergie, should arrive on Wednesday morning. These can be connected to the heating network, and should first of all improve the heating performance in the clinic and nursing homes. The 600 to 800 KW mobile heaters are the size of shipping containers and can be transported by truck.
There have already been numerous offers of support from the region, but also from the state capital, Munich, it was said at noon. Two smaller Munich units are now in Nuremberg. If possible, they should connect overnight and then take care of the clinic and nursing homes.
King, Mayor of Nuremberg: “Reduce the overall burden”
“We have been on the crisis team since midnight,” N-Ergie CEO Josef Hasler had previously reported. Cities and energy providers face a double problem: many people are at home due to the closure. At the same time, they increase their heating particularly due to the freezing temperatures outside. “Now it’s about reducing the overall burden,” said Mayor and Chairman of N-Ergie’s supervisory board, Marcus König (CSU). So N-Ergie employees rang the bells in the affected area to ask people to turn the heat down to 15 degrees and save hot water, Hasler said.
A Röthenbach resident, who was still sitting in her apartment in an apartment building at 21 degrees in the afternoon, used the perspective of cool temperatures in the home office with composure: “Alternatively, I have to go back to the office, because it is hot there. “
The city of Nuremberg and N-Ergie subsidize hotel rooms
The city of Nuremberg has organized 1,100 hotel rooms that frozen citizens can rent at special prices of 69 to 89 euros. Those who rent one of these rooms must bear the costs. City and N-Ergie would subsidize the overnight stays, so a price of 40 euros per night per room can be assumed, König said. And those who move from their cold apartment to relatives do not violate contact restrictions, König stressed.
N-Ergie boss König is concerned about the extreme cold that is forecast for the next few days with lows down to -20 degrees. Winter in Nuremberg is usually milder than in southern Bavaria, on the edge of the Alps. But around the same time as the power plant fire, a cold snap has broken out over the Free State’s second-largest city.
The cause of the fire will be determined in the coming days.
It was still unclear how the fire occurred Monday night in the boiler room of the power plant unit on Tuesday. The flames had spread to a height of 80 meters. 120 emergency services, including the rescue team, battled the flames for three hours.
Fire investigators from the criminal police are expected to look for the cause of the fire in the coming days. “That will be tomorrow at the earliest,” said a police spokesman. Before that, all embers must be extinguished and the building must have cooled down. Also, experts should check for static. The investigation is expected to take a few days.
