The Regina Fire and Protective Services (RFPS) responded to a report of a “major gas leak” in one of Regina’s core neighbourhoods.

Just after 12 p.m., on Monday, the Regina Fire Hazmat Team was called to an address on the 1600 block of 5th Ave. in response to the gas leak, according to an early afternoon tweet.

There was no physical fire, but emergency personnel worked to ventilate the building and monitor air quality.
