As licensed gasfitters,we have electronic equipment  that detects  gas leaks from all sorts of gas appliance, gas pipelines and gas meters, but this one  is unusual….

A big pig with flatulence sparked a “gas emergency” near the Victorian city of Bendigo last week when the smell wafting from a  120kg oinker sparked fears of a potentially dangerous gas leak.

Two CFA tankers and a dozen firefighters responded to a nightime callout to search for the source of the gas leak on a rural property at Axedale, east of Bendigo.

The ever alert firemen soon sniffed out the source, a pet sow startled from her snooze. “She got very excited and she squealed and farted and squealed and farted” fire chief Peter Harkins said.

Chief Harkins said the family who owned the pig had done the right thing by reporting a suspected gas leak.
