**Update**

Mid American is currently fixing the gas leak on North Fulton. The line has been shut off in the meantime. With little air movement this evening you may still smell natural gas in the air in the area, which is normal in this situation.

If you happen to smell natural gas in your residence, please call it in. The only smell should be outdoors at this time.

Special thank you to the Newell Fire Department, Buena Vista County Sheriff’s Office, Albert City Fire Department, Storm Lake Fire Department, and Mid American Energy for their prompt response insuring everyone’s safety!

Please avoid North Fulton from just north of the park to Chaney. The Newell Fire Department is currently working with Mid American Energy in reference to a gas leak. The road will remain closed until the leak is repaired.

Also, as a reminder, if you smell natural gas please call it in.

We will post once the leak has been repaired.

Thank you.
