Vehicle Accident Ruptures High Pressure Gas Line
October 8, 2017
A vehicle stuck and ruptured a gas line outside Flomaton Saturday night, causing a high pressure natural gas leak.
The accident happened about 7:30 p.m. on Wolf Log Road near Jordan Road. The driver escaped their overturned vehicle without serious injury.
The gas leak shut down roadways in the area and led to the evacuation of the only nearby home.
The gas was turned off by a utility crew shortly after 8 p.m. without further incident or injury.
The Flomaton Fire Department, Flomaton Police Department, Escambia (AL) Sheriff’s Office, Escambia County (FL) EMS and the Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue were among the agencies that responded.

Four homes in my neighborhood evacuated voluntarily. The venting was so loud we could hear it inside our house. Firefighters recommended we leave for an hour just in case. Glad they secured it quickly and safely (and with a hurricane coming on land too)!
