Gas Leak in Redmond Prompts Evacuations

A gas leak in Redmond this morning has authorities evacuating the area near 41st Street and Reindeer.

John Brand, spokesman with Cascade Natural Gas says the leak is the result of a break in the gas line from an excavation project.

Cascade Natural Gas, Redmond Fire and Redmond Police responded to the scene, and began evacuation of the area as a precaution.

Brand says crews are on the site right now and they should have the gas line repaired by the end of the day today.
