Various models for the evolution of Milky Way interstellar medium place the volume filling fraction of hot gas at values ranging from 10% to 90%. The opacity of the Galaxy to soft X-ray emission makes it difficult to constrain this fraction. X-ray Observations of near-by, face-on galaxies that are similar to the Milky Way should give us a better idea volume of the Galactic disk that is filled with hot gas. We present the results of a search for X-ray emission from regions analogous to the Local Bubble in the near-face-on galaxy NGC 3184 using data from the ACIS on the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
