A natural gas leak forced about 10 homes to evacuate Tuesday near 1200 East and 500 South in Salt Lake City, in a neighborhood west of Rice-Eccles Stadium. Salt Lake City fire crews responded just after noon. [1][3]
Hazmat crews were monitoring homes for elevated gas levels while crews from Enbridge, the gas utility, were on the way. 1200 East was closed between 400 South and 500 South, and westbound 500 South was down to one lane. TRAX stayed open in both directions. [1][2]
Fire officials estimated the closures would last at least an hour and asked the public to avoid the area. [2][3]
