Patient reported escape of liquid oxygen from one or both units. Client was unable to reach their supplier (our customer) on the emergency phone line, so called the fire service. Ambulance and police were also called to the scene. The fire service evacuated the building and concluded that there was a fault with a unit. After their own internal inspection of the units, the customer suspects that the portable unit simply iced up during filling due to user error. Update 15th january 2019: internal report from customer (b)(6). Liberator tank was iced up after filling up the stroller portable. Patient couldn't reach their supplier on a saturday so called the emergency services instead. Police, fire and ambulance all attended the scene. Fire service evacuated the building and took the tank outside. They identified a fault with the tank but no further details. A child was taken to hospital. Client contacted the customer after the event and stated that all in the building were in danger of their lives. Update 17th january 2019: the police confirmed that they took no official measures in relation to the incident and that therefore no written record of the incident was made update 5th february 2019: report from fire service of 2nd february. The unit was in the living room, the unit had already iced up significantly at the valve where the oxygen had escaped. The fire officers could not stop the escape of gas, so they took the unit outside to let the rest of the gas out in a controlled manner.
