He did not smell gas but he heard a whistle in the rue du Pont which enabled him to sound the alarm. A resident of Montpon-Ménestérol in the Dordogne who was walking his dog heard a funny noise this Tuesday, February 22 evening. This man has lost his sense of smell but the whistle alerted him. He immediately warned the firefighters and the neighbors, explains the mayor of Montpon-Ménestérol, Rozenn Rouiller.
19 people living on rue du Pont were evacuated. The gas leak comes from a house that has been uninhabited for several years, explains the mayor. To stop the leak, GRDF was forced to cut off the gas to 87 homes in the city center. According to the latest forecasts, the gas should be restored around 11 a.m. this Wednesday, February 23.
