Henry, Tenn.–Henry Volunteer Firefighters were dispatched out on a report of a possible gas leak in the area of East College Street Monday evening just after 5 p.m.
Engines 2 & 3 responded to the area with 7 firefighters and confirmed the smell of gas in the area. The team along with the Henry Police Department went door to door checking on occupants, and checking gas meters until the source was narrowed to a home.
West TN Natural Gas sent their team down and traced the leak to an underground service line.
Henry Fire Department officials said, “We would like to take a moment and remind everyone that gas leaks can be very dangerous. Gas leaks when confined to a structure can often turn to an explosion destroying the home. If you smell gas then please evacuate your home and call 911 until the all clear has been given.”
