A gas leak just outside the western Sheboygan County Village of Beechwood on Christmas night resulted in evacuations for those living nearby.
The Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office reports that a pressure relief valve at the TC Energy Facility on Tower Road failed at 11:08 PM Thursday, allowing a rapid escape of natural gas and forcing the evacuation of those living within a mile of the site.
The Beechwood Fire Department and TC Energy staff were able to shut off the flow and all residents were allowed to safely return by 1:30 this Friday morning.
