HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Residents near Stop 30 Road and Drakes Creek may notice large flames visible above the tree line this week as Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas conduct pipeline maintenance work in the area.
According to the City of Hendersonville, the project involves “open flaring,” a controlled process used to burn off natural gas vapors during maintenance operations.
City officials said the work is expected to continue intermittently through Monday, May 18. Officials emphasized the flaring is planned and monitored, with safety personnel on site during the operation.
Kelsey Gibbs brings us a powerful story of humanity, compassion, and love in action while showing us the hard and lifesaving work our officers do daily. Nashville is lucky to have people like Lt. Hotz wearing the badge.
