A major gas leak at a Milton residence prompted an emergency response and temporary evacuations Monday evening, but authorities have since confirmed the situation has been resolved.
Halton Regional Police said crews were called to a home on Bartleman Terrace at approximately 7:45 p.m. after Enbridge Gas requested assistance. Gas technicians initially attended the property following reports of a gas odour but soon discovered what appeared to be a significant leak inside the home.
Milton Fire Department, Milton Hydro and police worked together to manage the situation through a coordinated, staged response.
Residents from multiple homes who had been evacuated were permitted to return to their homes later Monday night after crews dealt with the leak.
Police confirmed that no injuries were reported and that the incident had been brought under control.
