Officials in Milford said residents will likely have to wait until late Friday night before they can return home following a gas pipeline explosion Thursday morning south of the town in Ellis County.
The explosion occurred just after 9:30 a.m. at a drilling site near FM 308 in a rural area. Officials said the crew working on the rig was able to escape and there were no injuries.
Ellis County Judge Carol Bush said a 1.5 mile radius around the site has been closed off as a team investigates. Representatives with Chevron, which owns the pipeline, were also at the scene.
