Five one proceeding 34 on Snow Valley.
00:04
Proceeding engine five one.
00:06
Caller is reporting there is a noise coming from a power line along with strong odor of gas.
00:11
There's multiple calls in the area.
00:13
Five one, five one, is PG&E been notified?
00:17
That's negative, engine five one.
00:19
Okay, with the multiple calls, can you just get them started a while?
00:24
Copy, engine five one.
00:26
Go ahead.
00:27
Since we have reports that it could be either a power line or gas or both, can you verify before we call BGE? They're going to be requesting that information.
00:37
Okay.
00:38
We're going in very far now.
00:40
I can't confirm an odor in the area, and I do have an audible noise.
00:44
Four. You know, and figuring out exactly what it is.
00:47
Copy, engine five one.
00:49
Five one, just five one.
00:50
If you can find out from BGE if they have a gas main run in this area, that would be helpful.
00:57
Yeah, copy, engine five one.
00:58
Okay, talk about that.
01:00
Five one power line.
01:02
I do have a well.
01:04
Sounds like a 50 pound from a gas leak in the area of the power line.
01:11
Closest address should be (number withheld) Dairy Farm.
01:15
If we can find out if PG&E can send a team to preserve the hospital.
01:20
Copy that, engine five one, go ahead.
01:23
Fire alarm, engine five one.
01:26
Do you have any visual on the gas or just the sound?
01:30
Five one, fire alarm.
01:31
BGE's on location.
01:33
I've spoken to them face to face.
01:36
Their construction crew here was digging and the captain lost the gas line.
01:42
They're going to be working on repairing it.
01:44
In the meantime, I need Dairy Farm Road shut down between Wall Chapel.
01:50
And Old Dairy Farm, if you could start PD.
01:54
I copy. The issue is between Watch Chapel and Old Dairy Farm Road.
01:57
We'll go ahead and get them started in five months.
