Gas leak causes mall evacuation in Dallas Friday afternoon
A natural gas leak at a Dallas mall caused about 60 people to be evacuated Friday, the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department said.
On Aug. 8, a little after 4:30 p.m., Dallas firefighters were called out to 3662 W. Camp Wisdom Road, which is near Boulder Park and northeast of Duncanville.
According to on-scene personnel, a construction crew working on a parking lot near Southwest Center (Red Bird) Mall struck a 2-inch gas line that resulted in a gas leak.
The mall was not directly impacted, but out of an abundance of caution, about 60 people were evacuated from at least three stand-alone businesses.
As of Friday night, Atmos Energy’ technicians were on the scene handling the leak, but there is no estimated timeline for when the work will be completed. WFAA has reached out to Atmos but hasn’t heard back yet.
