Learned Somthin Today

[Dan Morris]

Had a customer come in about 8am...said we had a tremendous gas leak outside...went out before hittin panic button. Gas was strong enough you could bite it from the air!!!! Called FD, they responded with several truck and a Battalion Chief. Sensors in trucks picked this stuff up several blocks away. Chief called out heavy guns...Hazmat n Heavy Rescue. We sniffed and searched for bout 30 minutes and could find no source for it...during the time, it dissipated.
Bout 2 hours later, an ER Manager from Xcel Energy showed up......couldn't figure out how to open front door....started a class to me that natural gas is ODERLESS.....you CANNOT SMELL it!!!!!
I had to be wrong....told him to go down to station 1 and tell 25
Firefighters that! Guy freaked out that FD was called......
I feel better now that I know it was nothing...sheesh..........
