Narrative
Washington gas was called by the prince georges fire board for a house fire at 3105 madison street in hyattsville md. This was on thursday, november 25, 2010, at 2:34am. Crew 358, helen anderson arrived at 3:06am and found the inside gas meter valve was turned off by the fire department. Washington gas had crew 343 perform a 360 degree bar and test underground migration survey over the service line and around the house. No indications were found. They also turned off the curb valve located on the service line. An odorant sample was taken and the level of odorant was determined to be adequate. Washington gas came back on 12/2/10 and capped the service off and conducted a pressure test. Again, no leak indications were found. The fire is believed to have started around the electrical panel and spread from there later encompassing washington gas facilities.
