A falling tree caused a leak of an Algonquin Gas Pipeline in Southbury over the weekend.  Southbury emergency services was dispatched to the IBM property around 10 o'clock Saturday night on a leak of a significant amount of gas.

Multiple houses in the Kettletown Road area were evacuated as a precaution.  An emergency shelter was opened at Southbury Town Hall.  The leak in the 2 inch pipe was remediated and all residents were able to return home just after midnight. 

While waiting for utilities companies to arrive mutual aid from Middlebury Fire Department and Woodbury ambulance responded to the scene and Sandy Hook Fire stood by at Center Firehouse.  These mutual aid crews responded to a single vehicle rollover on I-84 while Southbury crews were at the gas leak.
