"Gas Investigation"

The first time I heard a call come in for a "gas investigation" my heart skipped a beat. The thought of explosions from gas leaks always striked fear in me. Most calls for gas investigations are just that.

We go to the scene.
Investigate.
Yes there is a small gas leak (or not).
Scene is secured.
Gas company arrives to take care of the matter.

But over the years and having spent so much time in the Firehouse, the term "gas investigation" has taken on a whole new meaning. Our evening meals have been "modified" to prevent those night time emissions.

Still, every once in awhile, that call will come in. And all I can do is point to the culprit who kept me awake most of the night. :-)))
