Narrative
On the morning of saturday, january 20, 2018, the company received notification of a potential gas fire at a two-story residential building in the gravesend section of brooklyn. Fdny responded to the incident and extinguished the fire within minutes. On arrival, cms detected elevated gas readings at various locations in and around the premises. At approx.14:30, field operations subsequently located and repaired a crack on a six-inch cast iron main located in front of the building, thereby confirming the discovery of an outside leak potentially causing the incident. Apparent incident cause is frost heave. Four individuals reportedly sustained injuries in the fire. One was taken to the hospital with burns to his legs (note: the extent of any treatment/hospitalization is not known at this time), the others were treated at the scene. The building sustained moderate structural damage. The fire marshal has publicly indicated the incident was caused by a gas leak that ignited when an occupant turned on a light switch in a second floor apartment. At this point, the incident is still under investigation. **please note that for part c question 2a, installation date was a range of time between 1913 and 1927.
