Gas Pipeline Rupture Sparks Fire in Missouri
SMITHVILLE, Mo. (AP) — A fire erupted when a gas pipeline ruptured north of Kansas City, Missouri, but authorities say no one was injured.
A Platte County Sheriff’s Department dispatcher says the fire was reported about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in Platte County, not far from Kansas City International Airport. The fire was later extinguished.
The Kansas City Fire Department says the pipeline carries ethane and propane.
Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners says it’s investigating the rupture and that the affected pipeline segment has been isolated. Enterprise owns the pipeline’s operator, Mid-America Pipeline Company.
Kansas City International spokesman Joe McBride says the blaze didn’t affect flights at the airport and that it wasn’t on airport property.
