MARSHFIELD, Mass. (AP) A gas leak ignited Saturday morning in front of a residence in Marshfield, sending plumes of flames into the air and forcing officials to evacuate about a dozen homes.
The fire continue to burn throughout the day and Marshfield fire Chief Jeffrey Simpson told reporters it could continue for multiple hours. He told WCVB-TV firefighters found a downed power line, which they think may have ignited the leaking gas from a 6-inch underground main.
No injuries have been reported and the Red Cross of Massachusetts responded to the scene to offer assistance, according to the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services.
