Firefighters evacuated about two dozen apartment units Monday in Glendale after a construction crew cut a 2-inch gas line, sending fumes directly into the building.
Residents vacated the apartment building in the 1100 block of Campbell Street just after 1 p.m. as a precaution while firefighters and utility employees worked on the gas line, officials said. Hours later, they evacuated a second apartment building, Fire Battalion Chief Gregory Godfrey said.
Residents in another building were asked to remain indoors as crews worked.
Firefighters estimated it could take up to three hours to cap the leak. Crews took several hours to stop the gas leak, officials said.
