When Troy firefighters responded around 9:45 p.m. to the 900 block of South Walnut Street, one house was full of natural gas. The homeowner apparently left the knob to her gas oven on when she left, said Tim Haywood, platoon commander for the Troy Fire Department.
Vectren turned off gas service to the home, and crews had to ventillate the home. No injuries were reported, but Haywood said it was a potentially dangerous situation.
