Woke up to gas smell in garage. Called fire department.
Fire department says the gas water heater pilot light went out causing the gas to not burn. Fireman said the pilot going out was due to the planned power outage that early morning which I do not know if it makes sense. Would the pilot light go out if there was a power outage?
Electric and gas company came out and said there wasn't a leak and it was another issue. Said fire department wasn't correct.
I was told all water heaters have a mechanism where if the pilot light goes out the gas shuts off automatically. Is this true? Do we have an issue with out water heater?
