Narrative
At approximately 03:05 am, a driver of a vehicle was being pursued by law enforcement at a high rate of speed when it lost control and exited the roadway and struck an above ground, two inch monitoring station. The station was broken at ground level and almost instantly ignited. The station was a two way feed. 150 psig on the inlet side and 60 psig on the outlet side. The inlet valve to the 150 psig side was cut off at 4:23 am and crews had to dig two bell holes to stop the 60 psig downstream side to squeeze off the pe mains that were back feeding the station. Total shut off and isolation of the station occurred at 08:30 am. The driver was apprehended and sustained minor injuries consistent with an airbag deploying and was treated and released from the emergency room.
