8 homes in Frisco evacuated because of gas leak

Frisco firefighters are monitoring natural gas levels related to a leak in a neighborhood surrounding the intersection of Milestone Ridge and Ridgetop, located west of Coit Rd. and south of Canoe.  

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.
