UPDATED @ 2:11 PM
Workers who were working on the north corner of Houston County Community Corrections apparently found a Southeast Alabama Gas District gas line. There was a gas line rupture.
Dothan Fire Haz Mat responded to the scene.
Houston County Community Corrections Director Tony Weber moved all inmates in community corrections to a safety zone on the back of the building.
Dothan Fire Haz Mat, working under the command of Batallion Chief Stephen Messer made sure all readings inside community corrections building on all floors was safe before allowing re-entry.
Dothan Police had the 100 block of North Oates closed for a period of time.
UPDATED @3:09 PM
CORRECTION - this was not a cut line. Houston County had to have the line moved and it was a line under pressure. Southeast Alabama Gas made all required contacts and had a Haz Mat on the scene as required. This was an entirely Controlled event.
