Eight homes are evacuated as a precautionary measure; however, no gas is detected inside any of the homes, at this time.

At approximately 5:09 p.m., Frisco dispatch received its first call from an area resident about a ‘gas smell’.  Frisco firefighters were dispatched at 5:10 p.m. and arrived on the scene at approximately 5:17 p.m. 

Firefighters say a utility crew was installing cable lines when the gas line was cut.  Atmos crews are onsite, working to repair the line.

A time estimate for repairs is unknown at this time.
