On Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 10:00 a.m., two companies of Paso Robles Firefighters and one Battalion Chief responded to a ruptured four (4) inch natural gas line at the construction site at Golden Hills and Dallons Road in Paso Robles.
Firefighters arrived at the scene and determined that a grader had struck the buried natural gas line resulting in a significant natural gas leak in the area of Golden Hills and Tractor Way. Firefighters, assisted by officers from the Paso Robles Police Department, quickly established an exclusion zone around the leak and rerouted traffic to a safer route around the incident. Additionally, Nanometer Technologies located at 2501 Golden Hills Road was evacuated because it was located inside the exclusion area.
The natural gas leak was successfully terminated by Southern California Gas Company at approximately 11:10 a.m. All streets and businesses were immediately reopened.
No firefighter or civilian injuries were reported.
A total of eight (8) firefighters from the Paso Robles Department of Emergency Services responded to the incident. Paso Robles Police Department units assisted with traffic control.
