Why the pro's service gas equipment

[Rattlebox]

A word of caution to all, please let the professionals work on your gas supplied appliances. I had the pleasure of being the first one to arrive today to this mess today. I was driving the fire engine as we were dispatched to a "house fire with an explosion". 3 people were flown to a burn center outside of philadelphia.

That had to be a tremendious amount of gas. To think all of that could've been averted if they had shut the valve.

 

[darkcrayz]

holy crap, turn the valve off people.

WHOA!! that is amazing, surprised it did not flatten the place, sometimes a gas leak will just flatten a house like that. LUCKY!

 

[ZincDude]

[Sailing2Smth]

ive never cared for gas appliances, natural gas in a home wigs me out, mostly because your neighbors have it too.....

 

[SpankDog]

BOOM

 

[Mendax]

Yikes. Thats crazy.

 

[sohowcome]

Yeah I take 5-10 gas leak calls a day, the customers calling them in don't realize how serious they really are, I advise them to not hang up the phone to wait outside, to not air out the house just leave, its amazing how many dont listen :bash:

 

[SVT4ME]

Wow dangerous stuff there

 

[GoatDaddy]

whoa. I hope they have insurance.

 

[GoatDaddy]

I still prefer gas stoves over electric.....

It was a propane furnace that went boom.
