Crews have shut off a gas line that was leaking and caused the evacuation of hundreds of people on the Far East side on Sunday.
The gas leak was reported before 11:30 a.m. near Tussing Road and Continental Drive.
Investigators said that water crews were repairing a line when they struck a gas main with a backhoe, causing the leak.
Crews evacuated 500-600 residents from buildings in the area as a precaution.
The line was shut off by around 4:00 p.m. and residents were allowed back in their homes.
One firefighter was transported to the hospital to be treated for heat exhaustion.
