Fire crews arrived at 1220 Pringle Way and found a trenching machine had struck a natural gas line behind a multi-family complex.
Crews assessed wind conditions and began evacuating 10 homes that were in the path of the escaping gas.
SaskEnergy was able to stop the leak within 45 minutes.
Once the gas flow was stopped, people from the evacuated homes were allowed back in.
