It's a gas main break right?
Isn't the fire department capable of capping or cutting off the feed?

If it's not nature that's trying to rid us of Cali, it's their own systems that are trying to burn the rest down.

No, the gas company does that. FD is not qualified to do that. There are not easy shut off valves, often times they need to excavate nearby and clamp the gas line down.

No fire department is capable of that level of work. Main's don't have tons of shutoff locations.

Venezuelan troops blockade bridge to stop aid from Colombia
Opposition uses humanitarian shipment to test army’s loyalty but government sees it as prelude to military intervention
Venezuelan troops have barricaded a bridge on the country’s western border with Colombia in an apparent attempt to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid sent by opposition leaders trying to force Nicolás Maduro from power.
On Wednesday at lunchtime, a fuel tanker and two shipping containers blocked the Tienditas international bridge, which connects the two countries and has become a staging ground for the planned relief effort. Members of Venezuela’s Bolivarian national guard could also be seen at the bridge.
A convoy carrying the aid, which was donated by the US, left Bogotá at 11am on Wednesday and was making its way along winding mountain rounds to Cúcuta, a Colombian government official said. The earliest it will reach the border is Thursday morning.
Maduro has repeatedly denied his economically devastated country is facing a humanitarian crisis, apparently fearing such an acceptance could be used to justify foreign military intervention. “We are not beggars,” he said in a speech to troops this week.
