Incident Narrative
"AN APARTMENT FIRE AT 101 BROOKSIDE DRIVE, ANNA OHIO WAS REPORTED TO DOMINION. UPON ARRIVAL THE FIRE WAS ALREADY OUT, AND THE GAS TO THE METER SETTING WAS TURNED OFF BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE DOMINION RESPONDER CHECKED THE AREA FOR ANY LEAKING NATURAL (NO LEAKS FOUND) AND SHUT OFF THE METER SET VALVE. IT WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY DISCUSSED THAT THE METER SET WAS A POSSIBLE SOURCE OF THE FIRE ON THE SCENE. ONCE IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A POSSIBILITY, DOMINION MADE THE REQUIRED NOTIFICATIONS AND STARTED THE INVESTIGATION PROCESS. THIS EVENT IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION, AND NATURAL GAS HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE HOUSE FIRE, OR THE LEAKING NATURAL GAS WAS A SECONDARY EVENT AS A RESULT OF THE HOUSE FIRE."
