Dozens of potential
gas leak are being reported throughout the city on Saturday, including
at many downtown businesses and those in the Monadnock Marketplace.
About a handful of
businesses have been evacuated -- such as the Hallmark on Main Street,
Monadnock Food Co-op on Cypress Street and Price Chopper in the
Marketplace.
"We are currently working with
several agencies and are identifying and correcting the problem,"
according to a statement from the Keene Fire Department.
Keene Fire Chief Mark F. Howard is currently on scene and unavailable for comment.
Anyone who smells natural gas in
their home or dwelling is asked to shut off the gas, evacuate the
building and call the Fire Department.
Updates will be made to this as information becomes available.

Nice safe gas line infrastructure we have there. And they want to bring more into the area? No thanks.
