Citizen Contact
There was an odor of gas in the pottery room in Building 66, and the complainant asked that an officer check to see if it should be a concern. The officer detected a faint gas odor but nothing significant or concerning. A gas kiln was being used, and it is believed the odor was coming from it. The officer checked back a couple of hours later, once the building was closed up, and the odor had not increased.
Suspicious
