Leak from vehicle-damaged natural gas metre prompts evacuations in southeast London, Ont.
It was a hectic start to the week for Londoners in the city’s Glen Cairn neighbourhood after a natural gas leak, the result of a vehicle striking and damaging a home’s gas metre, temporarily forced the evacuation of several residences Monday morning.“Someone operating a vehicle clipped the natural gas metre in a residential driveway.
“There was extensive damage to the metre, which sheared it off, and an abundance of gas was in the area when our fire crews arrived.”Two nearby schools — C.C. Carrothers Public School and St. Sebastian Catholic Elementary School — were put under a shelter-in-place out of an abundance of caution. Both have since been lifted, spokespeople for the London District Catholic School Board and Thames Valley District School Board said.
