Press Release
On 3/3/14, the Bates County Sheriff’s Office requested assistance
from the Butler Fire Department and the Liberty Gas Company in reference to an
odor in the kitchen of the Sheriff’s Office.
Once on scene, the source of the odor was determined to be a joint
in the gas line under an appliance in the kitchen. The Fire Department determined there was no
threat and cleared the scene. The joint
had a small leak in the connection and was repaired immediately. Liberty Gas remained on scene and checked all
other connections to insure that there were no other leaks or problems.
We wish to thank the Butler Fire Department and the Liberty Gas
Company for their response and help.
