December 13, 2011 - For the second time in two days companies were dispatched to 1000 Harry Byrd Hwy LS building, Box 1836, for an inside gas leak. This was the same building, both days. The assignment brought companies 618, 611(Engine, Tower) 615, BC601 and SO600...
Engine618 arrived and found a single story building, being evacuated. Campus police were also on scene, as well as campus facilities people. Campus personnel advised that there was construction being done on the building and that the workers had turned on a valve they thought was not connected yet. The valve was closed quickly, but gas still escaped into the building. Tower 611 worked to ventilate the building and double check there was no other source. Units quickly finished ventilation and went back in service.
