The Steinbach Fire Department was called to a gas leak at 313 Barkman Avenue around 10:15 a.m. Friday.

Fire Chief Kel Toews says the fire department was on standby to assist if necessary.

"The construction crews working on the street ruptured a gas line so we had to be on standby waiting for Manitoba Hydro and they pinched off the line and everything is good now."

Toews says the scene is now safe.
