Earlier today, Central Cass Fire responded to a gas line strike near East St. and Water St.

Out of an abundance of caution, nearby residents were temporarily evacuated while crews worked alongside the gas company to secure the leak.

The gas line has since been capped and there is no active leak at this time. Residents are able to safely return home while repair work continues in the area.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation during the incident.
