Homes evacuated after Calabasas gas line

Crews were in the Calabasas Highlands after a high-pressure gas line leak. Homes were evacuated as a precaution.

Some Calabasas residents were temporarily evacuated from their homes Friday morning following a high-pressure gas leak, authorities said. 

The gas leak occurred after a construction crew struck a gas line in the 3500 block of Pansy Drive, east of the Mulholland Highway in the Calabasas Highlands. 

Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics were sent to the scene around 9:10 a.m. and authorities deemed the incident was "under control" just after 10:20 a.m.

"Great news! The gas line repair in the Calabasas Highlands has been completed. We thank everyone for their patience during the repair process," the city said in a social media post.
