Faribault Emergency Management Director Talks COVID
Dustin Dienst, Faribault Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director was delayed in arriving at the KDHL Studio today for AM Minnesota. Dienst explained a call came in about the apparent smell of gas from a couple of tanks off HIghway 60 east of Faribault.
Dienst said, The two large LP tanks about three or four miles out. They were leaking. It s still bad enough but it s kinda hazy out. There s a haze you can see out in the county a long ways. We had to check a few residences and make sure nobody was home. The down wind residences were fine. That s what I was doing while a co-op member was shutting off the tanks. I couldn t smell anything around their home. The doors were locked so we weren t going to break in and shut down stuff.
