CADIZ — Cadiz Fire Department, Hopedale Fire and EMS Department and Cadiz police responded to a major gas line rupture around noon Wednesday.

The break occurred near the intersection of Cunningham Avenue, Deersville Avenue and West Warren Street. The three roads remained closed during the repairs.

Harrison County Emergency Management Director Eric Wilson said that a contractor working on the roads in the area breached a gas line. He said that Columbia Gas started working to repair the gas line right away.

He said that no one was injured. Wilson also said that the fire departments used gas monitors to check the safety of homes and determined that no residents needed to evacuate.

Columbia Gas originally estimated that repairs would take approximately three hours but faced delays.

After talking to Columbia Gas Wednesday afternoon, Wilson said that repairs would be completed by 8 or 9 p.m. Wednesday and the roads would remain closed until then.

Wilson said that the natural gas is odorized and has a “rotten egg smell.”

“It’s odorized to let people know that it’s in the air. Residents should call 911 immediately if they smell it in their homes,” he said.

Wilson said symptoms such as headache, nausea and vomiting can be a sign of inhaling natural gas. He said residents should seek medical attention immediately if they experience any of these symptoms.
