KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — Authorities evacuated several homes in a Kalamazoo neighborhood Thursday evening after a ruptured gas line caught fire.
Police and firefighters evacuated all homes within a one-block radius of the fire, and police diverted traffic away from the area.
Firefighters reported a 4-inch (10-centimeter) natural gas line ruptured and was burning underground in a construction zone, the Kalamazoo Gazette said.
Gas meters to nearby homes were shut off as a precaution.
Natural gas utility Consumers Energy was called in to help with the gas leak.
