Firefighters Respond To Possible Natural Gas Pipeline Leak In Bratt
April 19, 2023
Firefighters responded to a possible gas leak from a natural gas valve station near Bratt Tuesday night.
A passerby reported the smell of gas on North Highway 99 near Amerson Drive about 8:15 p.m. Wednesday. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue responded and found an extremely strong smell of gas coming from the high pressure Pensacola Energy pipeline. The valve station is located about 150 feet off the roadway in the yard of a residence.
Firefighters determined that if natural gas was leaking, it was not a high enough level to be extremely dangerous. There were no evacuations ordered.
Pensacola Energy was notified of the possible leak.

It was still very strong as we drove by after church last night!!!! Didn’t smell it as we were driving to church,but as were driving home!!!!! Took our breath away!!!!!
SHOULD THIS BE IN A SAFETY TYPE OF COVER & PIPE /CONCRETE STOPS. ??
You would think that this area would be fenced off or at least have some bollards around it to prevent it from being hit by a lawn mower. Its obvious the yard is maintained.
