SLOPE TRAIL IN
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA REOPENS AFTER GAS LEAK CAPPED
January 14, 2015
A worker installing an emergency generator at 740 Slope
Trail hit a gas pipe, forcing road closures around the property for a little
over an hour Wednesday, said Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Dave Burke.
Police shut down Slope Trail between Country Club Road
and El Dorado at 10:50 a.m., said Police Capt. Curtis Krauel. Traffic was
diverted to North County Road.
Crews from Florida Public Utilities arrived and capped
the leak by 12:10 p.m., Burke said. Fire-rescue cleared the scene and reopened
the roads shortly after, he said.
