Narrative
On thursday, jan 10, 2013 at approximately 15:05, the driver of a truck owned by j. W. Garland (american door and millworks), was returning a key to the solid waste services office. When the driver tried to stop at the building the brakes were unresponsive. The truck hit a natural gas meter and then the building. The gas did not ignite immediately but did ignite after several seconds. The dispatcher for lawrenceburg utility system called at 15:08. I arrived on the scene at 15:15. Scott garland and willie richardson had also just arrived. The fire had engulfed the front of the truck and the offices of the building. At 15:22 the gas had been shut off and the fire was extinguished by 13:25. I notified larry borum with tra at 16:10 and the national response center at 16:20. As a precaution a squeeze off tool was installed on the service line by sam bleivns and ken bond. On 1/11/13 we dug out the service line and installed a stab plug until gas line could be reinstated. The meter was reinstalled and gas was back on on 1/16/2013.
