Narrative
On july 21st, 2019, sdg&e was notified of a structure fire at 13115 silver saddle lane, poway. Sdg&e personnel were sent to the scene to investigate. When the crew arrived, they found the service valve had been shut by the fire dept. The service valve was found to be leaking gas likely due to the heat of the fire or through the valve closure operation performed by the fire department. The gas regulator and meter were completely melted. Crew dug a remote control hole to control the gas at 15:25. Crew replaced the service valve and conducted a pressure test on the abandoned section of the service. The pressure test held, confirming no leaks on that section of the service. The remaining service and service to main connection were all checked for underground leakage with no underground indications of gas leakage were found. Last leak survey completed on 09/06/2018 and shows no leakage found. There were no injuries, nor fatalities reported due to the release of gas. The fire department did not do any type of investigation on the cause of the fire, as they suspected no foul play. This was reported to DOT and cpuc due to gas release, media, and damages exceeding $50,000. 04/01/2020- sdg&e investigation determined the fire started from another source other than sdg&e facilities, as a result sdg&e facilities were secondary to the fire. At this time, sdg&e will be closing out the file on this case.
