TAMPA, Fla. — A gas line rupture shut down a road in South Tampa on Thursday afternoon.
Around 1 p.m., crews from Tampa Fire Rescue, including a HazMat team, said they are currently on the scene to assess the situation.
South Himes Avenue is closed from West Tyson Avenue to West Ballast Point Boulevard.
There is no information yet on what caused the rupture.
A disabled veteran bought solar panels to reduce energy costs, but he could lose his home after learning that the financing he thought he was approved for fell through. The I-Team is digging into how the homeowner applied for a loan that wasn’t even available in his county and who stands to benefit.
