Emergency crews grapple with gas leak

Around 5:15 p.m. Saturday, Emmet County Emergency Management sent a broadcast alert directing
traffic away from the 1600-1800 blocks of North 6th St. due to a gas leak. Neighbors, however, reported
calling in to Black Hills Energy earlier in the day. After locating the source of the leak, workers from
the gas company as well as fire, police, and emergency crews were on scene until the all-clear came
about four hours later, after 9 p.m. The Estherville News will have additional information as it becomes

available.
