This week our tactical Fire Problem is a leak at an odorant station on a gas pipeline. If you are unfamiliar with these facilities do some research into the product, potential pressures and the chemical Mercaptan.

1.) If the leak is before odorant you will not smell the gas. Is your meter calibrated for methane / propane / ethane?

2.) What is your plan for a high pressure (600-800 psi) leak?

3.) What are the properties of the product?

4.) What is your relationship and familiarity with the contact people you will need to interact with?

5.) What will happen if this is just a Mercaptan leak and not a gas leak?
