Propane gas flaring at Jenness Hall
Facilities crews and the Orono Fire Department will be flaring propane gas for most of this week outside Jenness Hall. Passers-by will notice the flame associated with this process, necessary to empty an obsolete underground propane tank on the building’s north side. A fire truck will be standing by at all times. A damaged valve removed the possibility of emptying the gas in liquid form. The flaring is scheduled for approximately 7 a.m.-4 p.m. each day until the tank is empty.
