Narrative
A fire occurred at an apartment complex at 2800 gentrytown drive in antioch, california at approximately 0355 hours on october 12, 2010. The fire department notified pg&e of this fire at approximately 0358 hours. The pg&e gas service representative (gsr) arrived at approximately 0415 hours. The apartment building at 2800 gentrytown drive had collapsed on the service riser resulting in gas being released to the atmosphere.

The fire damage to the apartment buildings resulted in property damages exceeding $50,000. The occupants of both apartment buildings were displaced by the fire. The cause of the fire remains officially undetermined, but fire investigators indicated at the scene that there was a large pile of roofing debris between the buildings that may have been the source. Pg&e has requested a copy of the fire department report. Gas service to both apartment buildings was disrupted. Service will be restored when repairs to the house are completed and the customers request service restoration. There were no injuries and no fatalities as a result of this incident.
