Gas Pipeline Fire Prompts Evacuation of 20 Residents

HEBRON, N.D. (AP) — About 20 people were evacuated from their homes in Hebron when workers digging holes for fence posts struck a natural gas pipeline and started a fire.

No injuries were reported in the Tuesday incident. The Bismarck Tribune reports damage was limited to some fencing and a shed.

Montana-Dakota Utilities says the incident cut off service to some natural gas customers for a time.
