Default This looked dangerous (Gas leak)

Personally, I'd likely shut the gas off at the meter (or tank if it's
propane), as soon as I got outdoors, but many people dont know about
that sort of thing.


If it is the one I am thinking of, it was a gas stove so they turned it
off, there would be no need to shut it off at the meter. The rest, yes
I would wonder about that too.


FD guys are all supposed to be trained in
gas shut off.

Agree, that sounds dangerous. In the case of
natural gas, a fan down low isn't too bad,
the NG rises in free air. Blow some outdoor
air in, displace the NG.

In the case of propane, more risk. The propane is
heavier than air.

Was this the one when the woman took all the pills,
and was on the floor in the living room?

If is is the one I think it was, I later learned that this is pure
borderline personality disorder. She was successful in the last Act. I
actually used the synopsis of that show teaching the students that you
need to take these seriously because sometimes they screw it up and get
it right.
