The Fort Dodge Fire Department responded to a natural gas leak at 1012 1st Ave N today at 2:21 p.m. Crews found a gas meter had been struck by a vehicle that left the scene.
Working with MidAmerican Energy, three nearby buildings were evacuated as a precaution. Power was temporarily shut off in the area (impacting about 1,500 customers) while the gas was secured and repairs were made. No injuries were reported.
Thank you to FDFD, FDPD, Public Works, Region V Haz-Mat, and MidAmerican Energy for the quick response.

City of Fort Dodge: FOG + Cross Connection Compliance Program Update
After 12 years of voluntary self-monitoring, the City of Fort Dodge is implementing a formal regulatory compliance program for FOG (Fats, Oils, & Grease) and Cross Connection (backflow prevention) to protect our wastewater and drinking water systems.
Who is required to register?
FOG (Grease Interceptors): Many commercial operations, including restaurants, automotive repair shops, car washes, hotels/motels, and convenience stores.
Cross Connection (Backflow Devices): Common in commercial and large-scale facilities, especially those with boiler operations and fire suppression systems (residential is less common).
If your facility has not registered required devices and/or has an outstanding balance, please take action before Friday, January 16, 2026, to avoid late fees and possible water disconnection.
