Sept. 5

Natural gas leak: 4:52 p.m., (Auburn). The reported stink of natural gas brought firefighters on the trot to the Auburn Public Library, where they nosed the air for themselves and confirmed that, yes indeed, the place smelled like rotten eggs. After firefighters had cleared the library for safety and called in Puget Sound Energy, they hung around to help.

Sept. 6

Overdose: 3 p.m., (Algona). Valley Com dispatched firefighters to help a man who had apparently gulped or guzzled a type of pill he’d known nothing about. After firefighters and King County Medics treated the man, they transported him to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center for additional evaluation and care.
