burning smell this morning

eagle10

passing by coogan park this morning shortly after 7 I got an odd burning smell. Did any one else notice it maybe it was a chimney fire

no but there was a very overpowering smell of gas around the dominick street area yesterday - was scared walking through it even.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Unfortunately everyone else was sure that somebody else made the call, so nobody made the call becaue they all felt that it was somebody elses responsibility.

Pretty selfish attitude shown there.

how do you know that nobody made the call - psychic sally not everyone has a mobile phone glued to their body y'know - some people actually DON'T follow the crowds.

As Bord Gais says themselves: Don't assume someone else has reported the smell If in doubt - 1850 20 50 50

But it was probably someone using their chimney for the first time after the summer.

if Bord Gais wants to provide me with a phone to call them if I smell gas, then I will gladly do so - however I did not have a phone, and there was no phone boxes on the street and I was not about to go into one of the buildings that actually smelled of gas to look for a phone - now that would just be silly.

its probably the remnants of burning tyres left over from a pre-halloween bonfire - ahhh the nostalgia of it all betcha that was it

As the Bord Gais adverts on the television tell us, not to use light switches if we smell gas, I find it useful to always have a candle ready for use in such emergencies.
