Now that things had come so far, the warm-hearted neighbor felt that it might really be a case of natural gas leakage. He didn't dare treat the matter lightly, and he quickly dialed the numbers for the fire department and the emergency center.
He also dialed the fire department because every household was secured with a heavy security door. If the fire department was not there to break down the door, the emergency personnel of the emergency center would not have been able to get in, and they'd be wasting precious time—such was the bloody lesson learned from the natural gas poisoning incident the year before.
After receiving the call, the fire department and the emergency center acted quickly. They immediately dispatched their firetruck and ambulance. It didn't take long before they drove into the housing facility one after the other with their sirens on.
