A pipeline that supplies fuel to Las Vegas was shut down Thursday after a leak was detected at a pumping station in Long Beach, California.

The Kinder Morgan energy company shut down its 566-mile CalNev pipeline to investigate a release in its station in Watson, California, according to a statement from the company. The pipeline supplies gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to locations throughout California and Nevada, including Las Vegas, according to the company’s website.

Katherine Hill, Kinder Morgan’s corporate communications manager, said that only the pipeline that delivers unleaded and diesel fuel to the valley has been affected, and that the leak has not had any effect on jet fuel deliveries to Harry Reid International Airport

A report filed by the company Thursday said that Kinder Morgan contained the spill and that there were no reported injuries as a result of the incident.

1. And some people here are panic buying gas

Long lines at some gas stations and no lines at others. We still have one pipeline supplying Vegas from Utah. So we won’t run out. But there might be a shortage depending upon which supply a station normally gets. Gas stations around me have no lines. But the Costco gas station down the road has long lines, not too different than normal.
