A loud noise during Arugas maintenance in Barcadera prompted residents to call police and brought firefighters to the area on Sunday evening.
Area secured as crews checked the sound
AWE24 reported that residents heard an unusual sound coming from the Arugas facility and feared it could be a gas leak or an explosion. Police patrols and firefighters responded and temporarily kept people away while the situation was checked.
The report said the sound came from a strong release of air from large tanks during maintenance work. Arugas identified the activity as maintenance rather than a gas emergency.
Road reopened after checks
Authorities reopened the road after the response, and the area returned to normal. The source did not report a fire, gas leak, injuries or property damage.
The Arugas maintenance incident shows how the unexpected sound triggered a precautionary emergency response. Details are based on the local scene report and the explanation attributed to Arugas.
