Also a good job they were not having a fag on said sofa.
😁😁

A fag won’t ignite gas  

Turning on or off a light switch can,they create a small spark.

Yes, but only if the concentration of gas had by then built up to such a degree that it could not possibly be unnoticed.

Serious gas leak

Kinda says a lot....

I’m willing to go out on a limb and say it wasn’t anywhere near those levels. What is serious to some isn’t serious to the industry. 

Forcing entry and evacuations become serious. A small gas escape is nothing really. 

Not to be ignored of course....it still needs dealt with

I am aware of this. There are a multitude of things that can! Even down to employees wearing anti static clothing and all equipment being intrinsically safe and ATEX certified. A fag, as I suggested, isn’t one of them.
