Arkansas gas transmission line ruptures

 

Residents in the Jessieville area were evacuated early Wednesday evening after a natural gas transmission line ruptured.

 

Garland County Department of Emergency Management Director Bo Robertson said the break was off West Main Haul Road, near Highway 298. No injuries had been reported at presstime. Robertson said the evacuation area extends up to 1 mile from the site of the rupture.

 

"We went knocking on houses, telling people to leave," Robertson said from the scene. "It's bad enough that common sense took over, and a lot of them left on their accord."

 

According to the National Pipeline Mapping System, Enable Gas Transmission LLC operates the line.
