Fire and emergency staff respond to methane gas leak in Durban: Emergency personnel, including fire and police, have responded to a methane gas leak in Springfield, Durban.
Sifiso Mbatha, fire services acting divisional commander, told TimesLIVE: “A Transnet gas pipeline carrying methane is leaking and next to it there is a fire in a dumpsite which is a suspected cause of the leak.
“They are dropping the pressure so they can open the leak in [the] block valve. That will allow them to open the leak and shut off that valve and then move to Mayville to shut it off there too.”Mbatha said everyone within a 100 metres of the pipe has been moved out of the area."[The] gas is lighter than air so it's coming out in a vertical direction,” said Mbatha.
