A Sunday night gas leak in Winnipeg’s West End led to the evacuation of several homes in the area.

According to the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS), crews were called to a vacant home in the 400 block of Langside Street around 8:15 p.m. due to reports of a natural gas smell.

When the WFPS got to the scene, they detected elevated gas levels inside the house. This prompted crews to evacuate several nearby homes and close off the area to traffic.

Manitoba Hydro crews located and fixed the gas leak.

Once gas levels were down to safe levels, residents were able to return to their homes and the road was reopened.

No one was hurt.
