Apartment gas
fire averted

A FIRE hazard was averted after a freak accident sheared off an apart-
ment building’s natural gas valve, according to a North Vancouver
City Fire Department spokesman.

. Insp. Gavin Soanes said 2 painter’s scaffolding fell on the natu-
rat gas meter at Glen Manor, causing the gas to leak out. The ac-
cident occurred Wednesday at 3:10 p.m. at 200 East 12th Street.

He said a painter activated the building’s fire alarm, and tenants
were evacuated.

He said the NVCFD was able to respond quickly and shut off the
natural gas line’s main control valve. He said there was a danger
that an ignition, from possibly a match or cigarette, could cause an
explosion.

The tenants were able to return to the apartment after their win-
dows had been opened, allowing the natural gas to dissipate.
