An eventful day thanks to gas leak in Maryborough CBD

Well that was an interesting start to the day. After a strong smell of gas, a hissing sound coming from a broken pipe in the vacant land behind our shop in Bazaar Street, the neighbour and myself were standing in the carpark trying to decide what we should do when a couple of blokes drive past and light up a cigarette. Well, decision made. Rang 000. They came down and started spraying foam on the pipe. The owner of the land then showed up asking who was responsible for calling the Fire Dept. I said I was, to which he replied… “Bit of overkill isn’t it?”

My God! If a gas leak and naked flames don’t constitute an emergency, what does?
