A second gas line break in Pierre in less than 24 hours resulted in evacuation of the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce and the Discovery Center for a short time late this morning (June 2).
Pierre Volunteer Fire Department chief Ian Paul says like yesterday’s incident, the leak was caused by a contractor hitting a gas line.
Yesterday’s gas line break resulted in firefighters going to about a dozen residences to be sure they were empty while the leak was being repaired. Traffic was disrupted for about an hour.
No one was injured and no structures were damaged in either incident.
