(WICHITA, Kan.) — The weather is hot and the weather is dry and the Sedgwick County Fire Department wants everyone to know this is not a good combination when it comes to safety of your natural gas lines.

"With the dry conditions you can have stress on that line you can have cracking and settling of the ground which could crack or rupture that pipe," warns Sedgwick County Fire Marshall Tavis Leake.
