A natural gas pipeline burst and caught fire this afternoon in DeSoto Parish, according to the sheriff’s office, but no one was hurt.




It happened before 2 p.m. off state Highway 5 near Murray Lane, DeSoto Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle said. That’s near Kingston.

Workers shut off the leak, Arbuckle said, and will let the remaining gas burn off. No evacuations were necessary.


The pipeline belongs to the Exco company, Arbuckle said.


A gas well blowout last week in DeSoto killed a man who was a contractor for Chesapeake Energy Corp. At least 15 families also had to evacuate.
