Day 26 – The Gas Leak That No One Smelled
Ama was preparing dinner at home.
The gas cylinder had been leaking slowly — silently — for hours.
She didn’t notice.
She struck a match to light the stove…
BOOM.
The explosion shattered windows.
Burnt her face, arms, and kitchen.
The neighbours rushed her to the hospital.
It all could’ve been avoided with a simple check.
💨 Always check for gas leaks with soapy water — not with fire
👃🏽 Trust your nose — gas has a strong smell for a reason
🧯 Keep a fire extinguisher or blanket nearby
🔄 Replace old regulators and hoses regularly
🏠 Ensure ventilation in cooking areas
Gas doesn’t forgive mistakes — inspect, detect, and protect.
