MILLE LACS, Minn — Officials in Mille Lacs County say a gas leak, which prompted evacuations on the Mille Lacs Island Resort, has been resolved.
According to a Facebook post from the Mille Lacs County Sheriff's Office, people are being allowed back into their homes.
Officials said a gas line was cut Wednesday morning on Highway 27, just east of the resort's main entrance.
People were asked to relocate to the community building, and deputies with Isle Fire and Mille Lacs County Sheriff's were going door to door to notify people in the area.
Around 11 a.m., an Emergency Alert System (EAS) message was mistakenly broadcast to local radio and television stations. According to the county dispatch supervisor Andy Berkstrom, the alert should have been sent to the Wireless Emergency Alerts System instead, which goes only to cell phones in the area of the emergency.
