THREE GAS ODOR CALLS THURSDAY FOR BRENHAM FIRE DEPT.

  

The Brenham Fire Department responded to three calls on Thursday and one early this (Friday) morning.

Nearing 12:30 p.m. Thursday, units were called out to a gas odor at a residence in the 800 block of Burch Street.  They found a contractor had hit a gas line and stood by until the leak was capped off.

Another report of a gas odor came in close to 6 p.m. at Grocery Supply Company, 602 West First Street.  When firefighters arrived, they found a heater switch accidentally turned on, causing the odor.  They turned the switch off and stood by until the City of Brenham Gas Department made location.

Personnel were dispatched to a third gas odor call shortly before 7:15 p.m. at Burleson Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway.  The fire department stood by until the gas department made location and released firefighters from the scene.

A few minutes after 3:15 a.m. today, units were dispatched to a fire alarm at Prairie Lea Hall, 911 West Fifth Street.  They found burnt food in an oven and ventilated the kitchen area before returning to service.
