BELOIT, Wis. (WMTV) — Rock County officials are investigating a strong smell of natural gas Friday morning from near Beloit.

Rock County 911 Communications said the smell was reported northeast of Beloit, but has been traveling as far north as Janesville and south of the state line.

Officials stated that because of the air thickness, the smell is traveling further than it normally would.

Alliant Energy has been called, the agency stated.
