It really doesn’t take long…
Manitoba Hydro posted a friendly, if salty, reminder of why you should call ahead before digging holes in your property:
⚠️ A natural gas safety thread 🧵
AKA a don’t be this guy thread.
On Oct. 21 a Portage la Prairie man was pounding in metal fence posts along his driveway. He had not contacted @ClickB4UDigMB pic.twitter.com/iA8eJ3BsBQ— Manitoba Hydro (@manitobahydro) November 3, 2022
TL;DR: Portage la Prairie man pounded metal fencing through a natural gas line…then grinded the top of the posts and caused a fire.
Seriously…you don’t even have to CALL anybody. Click Before You Dig and save yourself the hassle.
