🚨 Incident Snapshot
moderateGas detection alarm activation
Residential carriage house, kitchen source reported
10 prior calls at location since Feb 2026 — 5 gas alarms in 8 months
⚠️ Primary Risk Signals
Repeat gas alarm pattern
High nuisance-call likelihood, but do NOT dismiss
Confirm gas odor and occupant symptoms on arrival — CO hazard is real even if prior alarms were false
Kitchen gas appliance
Stove, oven, or line leak most probable
If odor present, isolate appliance and check for hiss or visible damage
Waterfront location
Building sits near water (satellite shows waterside)
No structural collapse risk from gas, but note for access and staging
🌬️ Environmental Conditions
Wind 12 mph NW
Gas may be pushed toward building interior or exterior depending on leak point
Cool conditions (42°F) do not affect gas density detection
✔️ Confirm on Arrival
Gas odor confirmation
Smell gas near kitchen or elsewhere in building, or occupants report symptoms (headache, nausea, dizziness = CO exposure)
Kitchen appliance status
Stove, oven, water heater on or recently used; check pilot lights, connections, valve positions
Occupant evacuation
Who is home, any symptoms, where they are now
Doors and windows
Open or closed; natural ventilation status affects gas concentration
🧠 Common Causes
Kitchen stove/oven pilot light failure
Gas line connection loose or corroded
Water heater pilot or burner malfunction
Range hood exhaust blockage (backup gas into kitchen)
