LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) — Part of South Lima was evacuated Thursday morning after a construction crew broke a large gas line.
The Lima Fire Department responded to the area of South Sugar Street and Holmes Avenue before 11 a.m. after crews working nearby ruptured the line. Firefighters evacuated more than a block surrounding the incident, including Unity Elementary School.
Officials said there was no shutoff valve in the area of the break. Enbridge Gas was called to the scene to seal the leak. Enbridge competed repairs at 2:30 pm and everyone was able to return home after that.
