Cut gas line prompts evacuation in Parowan
PAROWAN (AP) — Authorities say several students needed oxygen for nausea and headaches after a city worker cut through a gas line near schools in Parowan.
About 800 students and staff were evacuated Thursday from Parowan Elementary School and Parowan High School.
Iron County sheriff's spokesman Aaron Pallesen says a worker hit a gas line and pressurized gas could be heard escaping from the broken line. The students waited at the high school football field while officials shut off the gas.
Most students returned to school after a couple of hours.
