Engine 13 to command. Command, go ahead. Yeah, there's nothing real close to it. We're about 60 feet away from these residents. We're going to just knock on a couple doors to make sure there's nothing inside. Copy. Is it going up and out, or is it under, is it still buried far away? It's kind of hard to tell. They were digging in a little tree.

Probably the same contractors installing fiber all over the city. They’re terrible and putting people at risk every day with hitting all these gas lines.

@CbusSpiderMan this!!! They need to be shut down and held accountable!

That's going to be an expensive repair for whoever screwed up.
