Gas leak, electrical outage in Fort Dodge

A gas leak prompted electricity to be shut off to part of Fort Dodge this afternoon.

The gas leak in the 1000 block of First Avenue North was reported at about 2:20 p.m. It was caused by damage to a gas meter.

As a safety precaution, MidAmerican Energy turned off electrical service to part of the city.

During the power outage, traffic lights along North 15th Street went dark, prompting police to direct traffic at at least two intersections.

Starting at $4.94/week.
