Description:
On March 20, 2023, personnel from the Livingston office with the Texas A&M Forest Service were preparing to conduct a prescribed burn on the Brodbeck-Hooper General Land Office (GLO) property in Polk County. While refreshing fire breaks along the edge of a pipeline right-of-way, a dozer operator noticed a hole in the ground. After brief observation, it was determined the hole was caused by a ruptured underground pipeline. The personnel cleared the scene and contacted pipeline officials. The issue was resolved without incident.
