ll <br /> EFIE8 - 9 1998 <br /> Hoyts Mashpee Cinemas SELECTMEN'S OFFICE <br /> 11 Steeple Street <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> Board Of Selectman <br /> Town of Mashpee <br /> Great Neck Road <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> February 5, 1998 <br /> To Whom It May Concern, <br /> I'd like to relate to you my recent experience with the Mashpee Fire Department. <br /> On Thursday evening, January 29, I smelled what I thought was natural gas in <br /> one of the auditoriums. Although I wasn't sure, I called the MFD and asked if they <br /> would come over and check it out. Within five minutes a full complement of <br /> personnel arrived with every piece of equipment imaginable. They inspected the <br /> auditorium, the projection booth, and the rooftop heating unit. They did find a <br /> leak; they then called the Colonial Gas Company (as is procedure), and <br /> determined that the auditorium should be closed. They shut down the gas supply <br /> and electrical connections to the unit. On top.of this, they managed to do it <br /> without alarming any of the patrons who were sitting in the auditorium. <br /> While this was happening, a lieutenant and Chief Baker showed up to see how <br /> things were progressing. They were concerned about a possible gas leak and what <br /> could be a potentially serious problem due to the size of our building and the <br /> number of patrons inside. <br /> I cannot stress enough how fortunate we are in Mashpee to have our Fire <br /> Department. From the moment they arrived they were professional and in control <br /> of the situation. I can't imagine how it could have been handled better. <br /> Sincerel , <br /> H J inkel <br /> Manager <br /> cc: Mashpee Fire Department <br /> Mashpee Enterprise <br />
