Gas leak at Oakland fueling station caused temporary closure of area
A gas leak at a fueling station in Oakland prompted a temporary evacuation of several buildings on Tuesday, the Oakland Fire Department said.
Oakland Fire said it was a compressed natural gas leak at a station on 2nd Street, between Market and Brush streets. The evacuations and closure around the station were lifted after PG&E shut off the main gas line.
Fire crews had initially closed off a three-to-four-block radius to stop pedestrian and vehicle traffic and evacuated four buildings.
