Gas Leak Shelter-In-Place Order Lifted For Antioch Mobile Home Park
ANTIOCH (CBS SF) -- A shelter-in-place order for residents of a mobile home park in Antioch has been lifted after PG&E stopped a gas leak in the area Thursday morning, fire and PG&E officials said.
The leak was reported at 8:41 a.m. in the area of Buchanan and Somersville roads, PG&E spokeswoman Tamar Sarkissian said.
The 4-inch gas line was hit by a construction crew digging in the area, Sarkissian said.
Residents of the nearby Chateau Mobile Home Park were asked to shelter in place and roads were closed in the area while PG&E worked on stopping the gas leak, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Fire Marshal Robert Marshall said.
PG&E crews arrived and stopped the flow of gas by about 10:20 a.m. and the shelter-in-place order was lifted by about 10:30 a.m., Marshall said.
Sarkissian said it is important for anyone digging to call 811 to learn where natural gas lines are located.
