Today after the snow stopped Capt Nickle, FADO Kibe, and Candidate Ward headed out in the air unit to shovel out the hydrants in the first due... after multiple stops, 2 hours and even diggin threw a 6 ft tall snow pile to find a hydrant that was plowed in, the crew returned.  Shortly after the company was dispatched to the 2600 block of Boas ST for a gas leak.  Engine, Air, Utility, and Chief 30 arrived, with 9 men.  crews investigated and found the leak to be coming from the curb box. UGI was already in the area with the same problem at multiple other locations, and the crews returned for some much neded rest.
