Overview
- TC Energy reported its team was alerted around 11:20 p.m. on Dec. 25 and confirmed the release was stopped at about 12:15 a.m. on Dec. 26.
- Deputies and firefighters evacuated homes within roughly a one-mile radius as a precaution, and residents later returned.
- The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office said gas vented through a pressure-relief valve that functioned as intended, and the agency is not pursuing a further investigation.
- Residents described an unusually loud, jet-like sound and a strong sulfur-like odor, with many leaving before officials arrived.
- TC Energy said customer service was unaffected and that personnel remain on site coordinating with first responders, landowners, utilities, and regulators; neighbors referenced a November pipeline rupture that injured four people as a concern.
