At 0803 hours, Potsdam Fire Engine 49 responded, chauffeured by Career Fire Driver Jerry Robar, and arrived on scene at 0807 hours. Firefighters found that a garbage truck was picking up a dumpster and when it set the dumpster down it had hit the gas meter, rupturing the gas line. Firefighters were able to stem the flow of natural gas by closing the valve below the meter as the line was broken downstream of the valve.
