Firefighters Respond To Possible Natural Gas Leak In Bratt
April 5, 2018
Firefighters responded to a possible gas leak from a natural gas valve station near Bratt.
A passerby reported the smell of gas on North Highway 99 near Amerson Drive about 9 p.m. Wednesday. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue responded and found a strong smell of gas coming from the high pressure Pensacola Energy pipeline located in the yard of a residence about 150 feet off the roadway.
It was not immediately clear if there was an actual minor gas leak or a leak of the mercaptan — the harmeless chemical added to natural gas that gives off a strong “rotten egg” odor. It was known that if any natural gas was leaking, it was not a high enough level to be extremely dangerous.
Pensacola Energy responded to evaluate the pipeline.
There were no evacuations ordered.
