Arkancide?

Firefighter killed, Ten other firefighters were taken to hospitals to treat their injuries, Loudoun County officials said Saturday. Two civilians were taken to hospitals and are expected to survive.

The injuries to the firefighters range from serious to less severe,

Only if the target was a firefighter.

Only if the target was a firefighter.

What did he know? When did he know it?

No joking around with gas.

And the danger with gas is that when you will be able to smell it, the entire house or room is filled with gas up to your nose, if you just came in and smell it, that means the house is filled whatever highest you’ve have. Because gas is heavier… THAT’S SOME PRETY DANGEROUS BOOOM if anything sparkles, even a cellphone call can trigger the booom!

Yep, lots of sparky, staticky things you have no control over everywhere.

Natural gas is lighter than air so it rises, propane is heavier than air so sinks and settles, makes sense if this was a propane leak as mentioned before

Anyone can work on gas pipe. But not on hvac. Or at least legally. 99% of the time gas explosions are diy/handyman related.

The dead fire fighter served in my best friends fire company. Loudon County is a majority volunteer department. The man leaves a morning wife and family. True love for others in his selfless service.
