BREAKING: KRISPY CREAM IS LOOKING A LITTLE CRISPIER THIS MORNING. FIRE ERUPTED JUST BEFORE 1AM WEDNESDAY MORNING. STORE EMPLOYEES INDICATE THAT NO ONE WAS INSIDE AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. CREWS ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING POTENTIAL CAUSES. UPDATES AS THEY COME IN

UPDATE: WATERSHED MANAGEMENT MOBILE COMMAND HAS ARRIVED AT THE WATER MAIN BREAKAGE AT THE GEORGIA TECH MANUFACTURING INSTITUTE.

PNN HAS ALSO SEEN SEVERAL TRAILERS UNLOADING EXCAVATING MACHINERY INCLUDING ONE BOBCAT AND ONE EXCAVATOR.

CAMPUS POLICE HAS THE AREA COMPLETELY LOCKED DOWN TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE MEDIA OVER DANGERS SURROUNDING A POSSIBLE GAS LEAK.

PNN WAS ATTEMPTING TO RUN COVERAGE FROM THE GEORGIA TECH LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE COURSE, WHICH DIRECTLY OVERLOOKS THE SCENE OF THE BREAKAGE. A CAMPUS OFFICER ASKED OUR FIELD REPORTER TO MOVE BACK SEVERAL BLOCKS, AS EVEN AT THIS DISTANCE THERE IS A HAZARD DUE TO THE GAS.

UPDATE: PNN IS ON LOCATION AT THE GEORGIA TECH MANUFACTURING INSITUTE WHERE WATER APPEARS TO BE WELLING FROM THE GROUND NEAR THE ENTRANCE. DEPARTMENT OF WATERSHED IS ON LOCATION AS WELL ALONG WITH CAMPUS POLICE.

SEVERAL ROADS ARE CLOSED AT THE MOMENT. IT APPEARS THAT AT LEAST ONE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY NEEDED TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE WATERS.

PNN HAS ASKED ON SITE CREWS IF THEY ARE TRYING TO CONTAIN THE BREAKAGE, THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT COMMENTED ABOUT THIS JUST YET, STATING THAT “THERE WAS A MAIN BREAKAGE”.
