Firefighters have knocked out the flames
where a high-pressure natural gas line was punctured and caught
fire this morning at a west Little Rock intersection.
Crews still have to cut the supply of gas leading to the break.
Firefighters used several hoses to keep a large volume of water
pumping on the site of the break.
Authorities say a construction crew apparently broke the line,
causing it to ignite. The line blew at about 8:30 a.m.
No injuries were reported, but the busy intersection of
Shackelford and Rodney Parham is blocked and traffic remains at a
standstill.
