Engine 12 from command. I need you to go to the north side of Ogden, come south, and stop north of Palmetto. Actually changed that. Come in from the west on Palmetto and go north on Ogden. You're going to be ready with a line in case something were to happen. We have Engine 17 on the south. Outside.

This is how that apartment building in Dallas exploded a few weeks ago. They need to have huge fines against the construction companies whenever they hit a gas line (or any utility line)that’s the only thing that will make them more careful and stop this from happening.

I understand what you are saying but what about the company that makes the services wrong or miss marks them its not always the contractors fault.
