Update: DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – Assistant Fire Chief Bill Murphy said the evacuations affected those within a quarter-mile radius. “There is no danger outside of this area at this time. That’s why we were a little overly cautious and evacuated a large area.”
Murphy said a six to 12 inch gas line ruptured underneath the road, which later sparked a fire. No injuries were reported.
