• GAS LEAK: 25900 block of 212th Avenue Southeast. Fire crews were dispatched to a natural gas leak inside a residence.  While responding to the emergency, fire crews found a construction dumpster and parked cars on the street blocking the fire engines. They were forced to turn around and take an alternate route.  Once on location firefighters confirmed the gas was shut off and then checked the residence with a gas detector.  The house was aired out by opening windows and doors.  There was no fire or injuries.

Fire crews are advising people to be mindful of where they park, as it can obstruct fire engines on the roads and streets.
