Gas line break repaired

An accidental natural gas line break near Walhalla led to a request by public safety responders for nearby homeowners to shelter-in-place.  For a time yesterday, Earlestead Drive was closed both ways in the vicinity of Christmas Tree Drive.  The shelter-in-place was lifted after about an hour and a half.  Walhalla Fire Department held the scene, awaiting the arrival of Fort Hill Natural Gas repair crews.
