Flatulent pig sparks gas leak alert
2009-12-28
A flatulent pig triggered a minor emergency in Australia when smells wafting from her farts sparked gas leak fears

Two fire engines and 15 firefighters turned out in darkness to search for the source of the 'leak' at Axedale, near Bendigo, Victoria.

Eventually, the culprit - a 120kg pet sow - was identified, reports the Melbourne Herald Sun.

Fire chief Peter Harkins said: "We got to the property and we could smell a very strong odour in the vicinity. It didn't take us too long to work it out because we could both smell and hear her.

"She got very excited when two trucks and 15 firies (firefighters) turned up and she squealed and farted and squealed and farted. I haven't heard too many pigs fart but I would describe it as very full-on."

Mr Harkins said the family had done the right thing by calling emergency services to report the suspected gas leak.
