Flatulent pig sparks gas leak scare

 

A suspected gas leak at an Australian farm, which led to 15 firemen in two fire engines to rush to the scene, turned out to be the work of a flatulent pig.

 

The farmer in Axedale, a town in Victoria in the south-east of the country, called the emergency services after believing he had smelled gas.

 

But when the fire crews arrived, they found the real culprit – a 260lb sow the family's children kept as a pet.

 

Fire captain Peter Harkins said: "When we got there, as we drove up the driveway, there was this huge sow, about a 120-odd kilo (265-pound) sow, and it was very obvious where the gas was coming from.

 

“We could not only smell it, but we heard it and it was quite funny."

 

He added: "She got very excited when two trucks and 15 firies turned up and she squealed and farted and squealed and farted.

 

"I haven't heard too many pigs fart but I would describe it as very full-on. Apparently, the pig had beans for lunch and then went for a full on curry after a bender in the evening".

 

However, despite the false alarm, Mr Harkins said the farmer had done the right thing by calling 000 (the Australian equivalent of 999). He told The Melbourne Herald Sun: "It's all bottled gas up here and a leaking cylinder could pose a major fire risk.

 

"It was because we took it so seriously that 15 volunteers still managed to attend the call out at 10.30 on Tuesday night."
