The Lyons Fire Department is on the scene of an open 60psi gas feeder line that is burning at 43rd Street and 1St Street.

  That was toned out as a box alarm before 3am. Wonder why it is taking Nicor so long to shut it down?

  The location is 43rd Street, west of First Avenue (Illinois Route 171).
