Crews attend gas leak at block of flats in Chineham
More than 50 residents were evacuated from a block of flats by firefighters following a gas leak.
Crews worked with council and police partners to move 52 people to safety following the incident at Lime Tree Way, Chineham, last night. A rest centre was set up at a nearby hotel.
Gas company engineers alerted emergency services shortly before 9pm after they found a ruptured main while dealing with a smell of gas at the property.
No one was injured but crews from Basingstoke and Alton remained on scene while gas teams isolated the leak.
Firefighters then used gas monitors to sweep the property before handing the incident over to the building owners.
