The four people who received treatment overnight at area medical facilities have been released.
Our focus continues to be on the safety of our employees and contractors. We are continuing to work with Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the contract companies to investigate the cause of the fire. The segment of the pipeline affected is temporarily shut down to safely complete the work and we expect to be back in operation today.
