A Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline facility in Karnes County caught fire Thursday morning.
About 5:40 a.m., emergency dispatchers received warning of the blaze and dispatched firefighters and sheriff’s deputies to the facility, said Emergency Management Coordinator and County Commissioner Shelby Dupnik.
Located at 8724 County Road 326 about two miles west of Runge, the facility pressurizes natural gas for pipeline transport, Dupnik said.
