SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Firefighters and City Utilities of Springfield crews responded to a gas line rupture in an area just north of Chestnut Expressway, near Ozarks Technical Community College and Drury University.

Springfield firefighters shut down Benton Avenue for a short time for safety due to the amount of natural gas being emitted.
