Sask Energy was concerned about gas flowing through air vents and into buildings, so surrounding buildings were evacuated as a precaution. Police blocked off surrounding streets and rerouted traffic for about an hour.
Sask Energy technicians were able to shut off the gas quickly, people were let back into surrounding buildings after the natural gas levels were checked inside.
