Gas Leak in Arcadia, Indiana Sparks Evacuation: Hamilton County Residents Urged to Stay Informed
On March 2, 2026, a gas leak in Arcadia, Indiana, led to an evacuation order in Hamilton County. Crews accidentally hit a six-inch gas main, causing a public safety alert for those within a quarter mile of the site. Emergency management sent initial notifications, urging residents to leave the area. An all-clear message was later sent, but some residents felt confused without the original details. Chad Knecht from Hamilton County Emergency Management explained that safety was the priority. Local resident Jeremy Deemer suggested adding the town name to future alerts for better understanding. By March 3, the pipe was repaired, power and utilities were restored, and the area was declared safe. No injuries were reported. Residents can sign up for alerts through the Hamilton County Emergency Management app, Smart911 service, or by texting Ham Co to 77295.
